Excerpt from Small Country Houses of to-Day, Vol. 2 My present subjects are grouped with reference to the traditions which inspired them. The simpler vernacular work comes first, and the changefulness of modern eclecticism is seen through various types and roughly in the historical sequence of their anti-types until the presentation of the later classical tradition is reached. It is the manner of some books on domestic architecture to discuss qualities of design and to illustrate them by buildings which yield apt examples of the writer's theses. I have taken a house rather than an abstract quality as the basis of each chapter, and let its main characteristic suggest a line of thought. The method is discursive, even disjointed, but at least it has the advantage that the reader may skip a chapter without breaking the thread of any argument.

Excerpt from Small Country Houses of to-Day In this imaginary house the foundations are assumed to be normal in quantity and cost, but if the ground be treacherous and need specially deep or solid foundations, what then An extra cost of over two hundred pounds may easily be incurred without the addition of a Single extra cubic foot of useful space in the house. This would bring the cubic - foot price from Sixpence up to sevenpence, and there would be nothing to Show for the extra expenditure. Then, again, local conditions of building vary greatly. If a house is three miles from a station, instead of near by, every ton of brick and timber carted will cost about half-a crown more. Some districts are rich in materials, as, for example, Peterborough, where bricks cost little more than half their price delivered in London. Moreover, wages vary markedly, and those ruling in Greater London are on a higher scale than in the country. All these conflicting factors tend to vitiate the accuracy of comparison between the cubic-foot price of one house and another, even where the materials used in each are of the same intrinsic value, and no comparison is reasonable at all when one is built, say, of stone, with oak-panelled rooms, and the other of brick, with walls plainly plastered. SO much for the danger of laying too great stress on such a rough-and - ready method of calculating costs: Its real value is in the proof it gives that houses can be built in solid fashion and with definite artistic quality at such low costs as Sixpence or sevenpence a cubic foot. When that is made clear there disappears much of the objection to embarking on building a house that will suit its owner's tastes and habits to a nicety.

Excerpt from Small Country Houses: Their Repair and Enlargement; Forty Examples Chosen From Five Centuries HE welcome given to Small Country Houses of To-day would seem, if I may T believe my correspondents, to have been due in no small measure to the seven chapters (out of forty-eight) which described old houses repaired and enlarged. This suggested that a second and uniform volume, dealing wholly with the treatment of old houses, whether cottage or farm house or small manor house, would be useful to the increasing number of people who like the atmosphere of age in their homes. A real responsibility rests on those who under take the alteration oi an old fabric, for our buildings are an essential part of our national history. This is no less true of the cottage than of the palace. Our building traditions are as much, indeed more, a heritage from forgotten craftsmen, as from William of Wykeham, Master Yevele at Westminster and John of Gloucester, who was King's Mason at Windsor. Of such nameless folk we may use Solomon's words, with but a single change a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom built the city yet no man remembered that same poor man. To those who appreciate all the skill and subtlety of touch which were the outcome of the wisdom of old builders, this record of the treatment of their handiwork is dedicated.

Excerpt from An Architectural Monographs on Farm Houses of New Netherlands The Dutch houses had not, as a rule, very much pretension to stylistic correctness; they were charming rather than beautiful, and quaint rather than formal. This quality makes them especially adapted for precedents for small country houses of to-day, just as the symmetrical dignity of the Colonial work of New England and the South lends itself to larger and more expensive residences which may be termed mansions.
