Excerpt from Whitehall Historical and Architectural Notes Richmond Terrace. Westminster claimed that the Terrace was within the boundaries of St. Margaret. The Terrace claimed that it was extra - parochial, as being on part of the site of the palace of Whitehall. The counsel for Westminster was able to show that Whitehall had been private property before the reign of Henry VIII., and that neither he nor any one else had made it extra-parochial. The verdict, therefore, was in favour of the parishioners of St. Margaret. We may return to this interesting and instructive report, with its wealth of ancient evidence, and interrogate that much more ancient document, the face of the country. Strange to say, a great deal of that country remains as it was in, say, the reign of Henry III. The green fields and the water - courses are there, though the Abbot in 1250 could no longer look across his own land all the way from Westminster. The divided Tyburn wandered over the green expanse, untroubled with bridges. Two or three small brooks formed here a kind of delta. On the south, one of them ran through Westminster Abbey and divided Thorney Island from Tot Hill. Another ran through the district we call Whitehall. The land between was low and marshy, and even at the present day, when there has been so much levelling up, the statue of Charles I. Is upon ground ten feet higher than Parliament Street. If, standing on the future site of Whitehall we looked to the westward, we saw nothing but a vast tract of low green meadow-land. If we looked to the south, we might have seen the new buildings of Westminster Abbey, unless when the Danes had been on the warpath. If we looked to the eastward, we found that the Thames washed up close to our feet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Haddon Hall: Being Notes on Its Architecture and History, for the Use of Visitors Haddon Hall has been so often and so ably described, that I feel some explanation is necessary for the existence of this little book. It has not been my intention in any way to write a guide book to Haddon Hall. That work has been done many times over, and there is no idea in my mind of doing over again what others have done so well before. But there has always appeared to me to be a distinct want for a book which shall not only describe the building as it stands today, or give long accounts of the noble families who have lived there, but shall try and render intelligible to the ordinary tourist the significance of the building as a building, tracing its history in its stones. The existing guide-books give the approximate dates of difierent parts of this mansion, but these are scattered about at random, and in such a way as to bewilder and puzzle the tourist who has no very great knowledge of architecture. The remarks, too, of the cicerone, as one is conducted through the building, are apt to bewilder rather than enlighten the understanding of an enquiring tourist visiting the Hall for the first time. Why, for instance, should there exist a Dining Room, when we have just been shown where the lords of Haddon used to sit and eat at the dais in the Great Hall? That is a question that used to puzzle me, and must puzzle many to-day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Old Cottage and Domestic Architecture in South-West Surrey: And Notes on the Early History of the Division I have therefore only added three sketches of, and some notes on Ewhurst, to which I had hardly done justice, a plate to Farnham, and small sketches of Hoe Farm Hascombe and a cottage at Cranleigh. The plates are printed from entirely new blocks taken by Process from the Original drawings, and take the place of the photo-lithographs of the first edition I have taken advantage of the opportunity to retouch the drawings.
