Publishers’ Note.
In presenting this list the Publishers would draw attention to the distinctive character of the works which are described. These cover a wide field, being of interest not only to those who are professionally concerned with architecture and building, but also to those who have a general non-technical interest in such subjects. Thus, the volume giving an illustrated historical survey of Mediæval and Renaissance architecture in England, and the volumes dealing with English domestic and ecclesiastical architecture, garden city houses, and domestic interior details, appeal alike to the educated layman and to the architect in practice.
“The Practical Exemplar of Architecture” and “Standard Details,” though also of strictly professional interest, are of totally different character, giving, as they do, carefully measured drawings and photographs of some of the finest examples of architecture in the kingdom; while those who are specially concerned with architectural education from the standpoint of design will find in “The Liverpool Sketch Book” a notable collection of students’ drawings.
“Who’s Who in Architecture” should be warmly welcomed as a work occupying a mid-position between the biography and the directory. As its name implies, it gives biographical particulars of all the leading men in the profession, and furnishes as well a complete list of architects in practice.
