HOUSES AND GARDENS BY E.L. LUTYENS
Described and criticised by LAWRENCE WEAVER
_Large folio (16 by 11), nearly 400 pages and 600 superb illustrations,
bound in quarter buckram, gilt, £1 11s. 3d. net; in half morocco, £2 3s.
9d. net; by post, 10d. extra._
This book is lavishly illustrated with photographs of about eighty of
Sir Edwin Lutyens' most typical houses and gardens, many of which have
never previously been published. Interspersed in the text is a large
number of plans, and there is an appendix of 22 pages giving a valuable
series of scale drawings of typical buildings.
_The Manchester Guardian_ says: "It is only when we see a
publication such as this that we realize what quality characterizes
some of the building of to-day. Abundantly and splendidly
illustrated, this book shows the work of a great master, whose
influence is even greater than his most enthusiastic admirers can
appreciate."
GRINLING GIBBONS and the Woodwork of his Age 1648-1720
By H. AVRAY TIPPING, M.A., F.S.A.
_Large folio, containing 250 magnificent illustrations, including
measured drawings, quarter bound in buckram, gilt, £1 11s. 3d. net;
half-bound in morocco, £2 3s. 9d. net; by post, 10d. extra._
The Author's profound knowledge of the period and his intimate
acquaintance with the art of Gibbons in all its manifestations give an
unquestioned authority to a volume which, for the first time, gathers
together a superb body of illustrations and detailed descriptions of all
his best work.
"The proprietors of COUNTRY LIFE are rendering admirable service
with their series of Architectural Monographs. In writing a life of
Gibbons, Mr. Avray Tipping had by no means an easy task, but with
painstaking care he has collected all the available material,
skilfully focused it, and for the first time we have Gibbons
presented in true perspective. But Mr. Tipping's work is of more
than biographical value. Equipped obviously with wide knowledge of
his subject, he has written a comprehensive and luminous account of
what may be described as the golden age of wood carving in
England."--_The Glasgow Herald._
The "Country Life" Series of Military Histories
"_The best Regimental Histories that I have seen of late are the series
published by 'Country Life,' all written by civilians who have learned
how to write._"--The HON. JOHN FORTESCUE, M.V.O., Librarian at Windsor
Castle.
THE STORY OF THE OXFORDSHIRE AND BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY. By
SIR HENRY NEWBOLT.
_Large 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d. net; sheepskin, 13s. 2d. net; by post 6d.
extra._
"The book ... noteworthily enriches the well-conceived series in which
it appears."--_Scotsman._
