Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rural Homes; Or Sketches of Houses Suited to American Country Life: With Original Plans, Designs, Etc
IN the pages I respectfully offer for perusal, I would have you look for no very new or critical remarks, or learned and technical disquisitions. Of course it may be presumed that, in studying the profession of an architect, I have, to the\extent of my ability, mastered the elementary rudiments, technicalities, and theories of the science; and, although I might show learning in discoursing of the nice distinctions between this and that school of ancient art, and quote Latin and Greek in support of my own peculiar tenets, I should very little interest you, and do nothing towards supplying your want of a plan for your house.
