Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 4: Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, and the Household Arts; December 1844
Are we to fight this battle alone? Is there no true hearted son of the Old Dominion, who will gird on his armor and help us to war against this sordid love of pelf, or want of taste, which prevents our homes from indicating to the pass ing traveller, the intelligence, the kindness, and the refinement which we know frequently render a shabby, old, unpainted domicil, where pillow cases are substituted for window panes, the sanc fuery of the best affections of the human heart.
There is one gentleman who has promised to come to our aid, and who has intimated that he would furnish us with a plan of dwelling better adapted to, our peculiar institutions than any we have yet given to the public. We know his ability, and long for his communication.
