SOME ARCHITECTURAL WORKS OF INIGO JONES. Illustrated by a Series of
Measured Drawings of the chief buildings designed by him, together
with Descriptive Notes and a Biographical Sketch, and a complete list

Drawings, and 40 Illustrations in the Text from Sketches and
Photographs. Large folio, handsomely bound, cloth gilt. Price 30s. net.
The aim of the work is to illustrate, principally by means of
measured Drawings, all those buildings now remaining which can
with any certainty be attributed to the hand of Inigo Jones. For
this purpose the authors have visited upwards of fifty buildings,
and have made a series of careful drawings and sketches, in
which are included some fine examples of interior work, such
as ceilings, chimney-pieces, staircases, etc. These have been
supplemented by Photographs and some Reproductions of Jones'
Original Sketches.
