Excerpt from The Practical Book of Architecture

The aim of Part I, A Practical Guide to Styles, is to give, as part of a liberal education, a thorough working knowledge of architecture and architectural styles, so far as is necessary for the use of the general reader, and to give it in so succinct and practical a way that it may easily be assimilated.

Part II, A Practical Guide to Building, adds to the 'above knowledge information of a more practical kind for those who are about to have erected for them houses or other buildings, either in the city or the country, at either large or small expense, or who may be connected in any way with Advisory Boards for the erection of buildings of a more public character.

The chapter on arrangements with architect and contractors treats of a subject never before presented to the lay reader in a direct manner, and a glance at the Table of Contents will show how helpful this portion of the work will prove.
