SOME ACCOUNT of DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND, from the Conquest to the
end of the Thirteenth Century, with numerous Illustrations of Existing
Remains from Original Drawings. By T. HUDSON TURNER.
"What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has
done for oil-painting--elucidated its history and traced its progress
in England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the
successive Sovereigns of the realm--Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved
for Domestic Architecture in this century during the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries."--_Architect._
"The writer of the present volume ranks among the most intelligent of
the craft, and a careful perusal of its contents will convince the
reader of the enormous amount of labour bestowed on its minutest
details as well as the discriminating judgement presiding over the
general arrangement."--_Morning Chronicle._
"The book of which the title is given above is one of the very few
attempts that have been made in this country to treat this interesting
subject in anything more than a superficial manner.
"Mr. Turner exhibits much learning and research, and he has
consequently laid before the reader much interesting information. It is
a book that was wanted, and that affords us some relief from the mass
of works on Ecclesiastical Architecture with which of late years we
have been deluged.
"The work is well illustrated throughout with wood-engravings of the
more interesting remains, and will prove a valuable addition to the
antiquary's library."--_Literary Gazette._
"It is as a text-book on the social comforts and condition of the
Squires and Gentry of England during the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries, that the leading value of Mr. Turner's present publication
will be found to consist.
"Turner's handsomely-printed volume is profusely illustrated with
careful woodcuts of all important existing remains, made from drawings
by Mr. Blore and Mr. Twopeny."--_Athenæum._

Now ready, price 21s. uniform with the above,
THE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE MIDDLE AGES. Vol. II.--THE FOURTEENTH
CENTURY. By the Editor of "The Glossary of Architecture."
This volume is issued on the plan adopted by the late Mr. Hudson Turner in
the previous volume: viz., collecting matter relating to Domestic buildings
of the period, from cotemporary records, and applying the information so
acquired to the existing remains.
Not only does the volume contain much curious information both as to the
buildings and manners and customs of the time, but it is also hoped that
the large collection of careful Engravings of the finest examples will
prove as serviceable to the profession and their employers in building
mansions, as the Glossary was found to be in building churches.
The Text is interspersed throughout with numerous woodcuts.
