Description
Excerpt from The Gentleman''s House, or How to Plan English Residences: From the Parsonage to the Palace, With Tables of Accommodation and Cost, and a Series of Selected Plans
The purpose of the present treatise is to set forth a systematic exposition of those details of arrangement which make up the plan of a Gentleman''s House, - a convenient and comfortable English Residence of the better sort, on whatever scale.
Other departments of the Architect''s practice may offer more to his ambition as an artist or a man of science, but there is none which has higher claims upon him as a useful servant of the public than the design of Domestic Plan. Any endeavour, therefore, to treat this subject thoroughly will be received, no doubt, with every indulgence.
