_Specification for Architects._
In all English-speaking countries “SPECIFICATION” is the recognised
Standard Authority on the many subjects with which an Architect must
deal when preparing his Specifications. The work is at once concise and
comprehensive, and so vast a mass of practical information is not to be
found in any other single volume.
Every section has been written by an accredited authority, and the
annual revision comprises the contributions of scores of qualified
specialists of recognised standing in their several departments.
To the Edition for 1914 (No. 16), the following important new features
of topical as well as permanent interest have been contributed:--

_English Ecclesiastical Architecture._
The ecclesiastical buildings of the prominent exponents of the Gothic
revival--Pugin, Scott, Butterfield, and the rest--have already been
fully illustrated, but never before has there been brought together
a representative series of photographs of the recent work of English
church architects. The interest and value of this present collection
therefore is self-evident.
