Excerpt from Houses and Gardens It might be supposed at least that all this ugly building would be attended with some compensation of a practical kind, and that the modern villa would at least possess utilitarian qualifications. But here again one finds that so far from being in any way adapted to the real requirements of its occupants, it is designed in accordance with a tradition which is based on the life and habits of the occupants of a mansion. The best part of its limited space is set apart to impress the neighbours, and the family is confined in some plastered rectangular cell which is already crowded with unnecessary and pretentious furniture. But enough has been said, perhaps, to show that there is an urgent need for reform in the plan Of the average modern house, and, apart from artistic considerations, it is at least desirable that it should be rationally designed. It has Often been urged that a house should express and conform to the special needs of those for whom it is built. But while this is certainly desirable it may be questioned whether houses of special type should be extensively built. A house has to meet the requirements Of many occupants, and it seems reasonable that one should bear in mind in its construction as to how far it is adapted for general demands. In the design Of houses for various clients of moderate means, I have been led to conclude that it is possible to deduce a normal plan which meets the requirements of the average family, and that variants from this constant type of plan are to be found rather in appendages to the plan than in any essential modification of its central features. Instead of a conception Of the house which presupposes the collocation of a number of compartments which in the smaller houses become each too small for comfort, it is suggested that the house rationally planned should primarily consist of at least one good-sized apartment, which, containing no furniture but that which is really required, leaves an ample floor space at the disposal Of Its occupants.

Excerpt from Lutyens Houses and Gardens He has by one little work - the Cenotaph-made joy in fine architecture a possession of the people. Wholly admirable as it is in its own right as a piece of austere design, it is much more. It was accepted forthwith by every one gentle and simple, by those who use strange phrases about Art and by those who have never thought of Art in terms of human life, as a perfect expression of the Nation's grief and thankfulness and of its pride in the Glorious Dead. By that one work Sir Edwin Lutyens' art has become an affair of national importance. I am tempted to believe that there are many who will not care to follow a laborious estimate of his place in British architecture, but may like to see something of the buildings that have set him where he stands. For the Cenotaph is something more than a happy incident it is a normal development. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Old Shorter Houses and Gardens If you' pause, bewildered, at each beckoning path, the whole garden, beneath the weight of a century, assumes the air of repose, of age; it no longer pleads: it commands. But through the gardens is heard the echo of a ponderous coach as it draws up at White Hall in a Seventeenth Century May. A coach of that day made a stir through London streets, and as the arrival of this particular coach was attended by a great deal of state, a piquant memoir could, no doubt, have its beginning the very moment the short flight of steps is lowered by the footmen. It is the coach of Sir John Shorter, Lord Mayor, and as the door opens 'for a stately gentleman to descend there can be no longer a cause for indecision: this memoir will have its beginning in a coach.

Excerpt from Gardens for Small Country Houses Within eighteen months of its first issue the need has arisen to print a third edition of Gardens for Small Country Houses. This seems proof enough that the volume, concerned chiefly as it is with problems of garden design, has filled a place, hitherto empty, on the bookshelves of the garden-loving public. The opportunity afforded by the second edition was taken to expand the introductory chapter by including in it some further examples of gardens, notable either for the apt use which has'been made of a hillside site, as at Markyate Cell and Owlpen Manor, or for the possibilities of a walled enclosure, as at Edzell, or of topiary work in a limited space, as at Bridge End, Saffron Walden. The measured drawings of these gardens which are now reproduced were not completed in time for the first edition, but their inclusion (especially in the case of the hillside examples) has added much to the practical value of the book. For this edition fewer alterations have been made, but some further notes on plants for rock gardens have been added to Chapter XXI.

Excerpt from The Home Garden Is there no beauty in Pomona that we can call to our aid? For why should we everlastingly apply to Flora for everything that is beautiful in the embellishment of our gardens Fruit-trees have flowers as well, and thus they Offer us a double supply of beauty; being beautiful when in flower and beautiful when in fruit - pleasing to the eye and to the taste, and ornamental as well as useful - doubly gratifying and doubly enjoyable. Plants with bright seed-vessels are always in demand for their ornamental qualities; but, after all, these only please the eye, instead of furnishing, like the fruit-trees, entertainment for man and beast. Red-cheeked apples, it is argued, are quite as decorative as red-berried shrubs; and the bird's-eye cherry is scarcely more desirable when in flower than any other cherry, while the ripe fruit, preserves, etc., of the ordinary kind will cause the empty blossoms to go up at full sail.
