COMMENTS ON NEW BOOKS 
GREEK AND ROMAN ARCHITECTURE* 
A NYONE interested in Greece and 
^ Rome will be delighted with the 
second, revised edition of'Anderson and 
Spiers’ fascinating guide to Greek and 
Roman Architecture. The earlier chap¬ 
ters comprehend the iEgean Age, the 
Archaic Age and the Culmination in 
Athens, Etruscan architecture and early 
work in Rome. The authors then 
group into chapters the various related 
types ot buildings of the classic world. 
The volume contains 255 excellent 
illustrations, from photographs, draw¬ 
ings, maps and restorations which are 
an invaluable accompaniment to the 
text. Einough history and archaeology 
are woven in the descriptions to carry 
even the untechnical reader from page 
to page, while for the architectural 
student it makes a text-book of unusual 
charm. A chronological table of Greek 
temples, a glossary of technical terms, 
a list ol selected books for further refer¬ 
ence, and a general index leave little 
to be desired. 
FAMOUS COUNTRY HOMES t 
7 E never tire of looking at pictures 
** of handsome estates built by 
private owners for their own residences. 
Mr. Eouis Valcoulon Le Moyne has 
brought together in one large, sumptuous 
volume plans and photographs of most 
of the great show-places of Italy, France, 
England and America. “They are taken 
up in chronological order,” says the 
author’s introduction, “beginning with 
the villas ot Italy, then the chateaux of 
France, then the English, and finally 
the American places; endeavoring to 
show relationship of one to the other, 
and how the later ones were the out¬ 
growth or development of the earlier.” 
The best Italian villas were built in 
the sixteenth century by the rich cardi¬ 
nals of Rome as summer residences and 
were surrounded by many shade trees 
in their formal gardens and a profuse 
water supply on account of the hot 
climate. Most of them are now rather 
neglected on account of the comparative 
poverty of great Italian families and
