Established, Nonconformist, and Roman Catholic churches in various
phases of Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance design.

_The Practical Exemplar of Architecture._
In order to secure a complete representation of Architecture, it is
necessary to encompass the resources of the photographer and the skill
of the draughtsman. By these means a pictorial record is obtained
showing all the effects of light and shade, of tone and texture,
of weathering and exposure, which make up the total effect of the
original, and at the same time there are ready to hand drawings which
show the design in elevation, plan, and section, together with details
of the enrichment and construction which are not comprehended in the
casual glance.
The drawings, specially prepared for this publication, are themselves
admirable examples of accurate, clear, and artistic draughtsmanship,
and the subjects which they depict have all been specially selected by
Mr. Mervyn E. Macartney, B.A., F.S.A., F.R.I.B.A., as possessing merits
of design and execution which are worthy of study and emulation.
The “PRACTICAL EXEMPLAR” is, indeed, the architect’s _vade mecum_. In
it he finds illustrations of fine examples of chimneypieces, gates,
panelling, doorways, ironwork, staircases, windows, and a score of
other features which he can make practical use of. The illustrations
are also of value as being technical records of notable examples of
architecture which have already been demolished, or which, in the
course of modern improvements, are likely to be swept away.

_The Architects’ and Builders’ Journal._
Continuous progress has marked “THE ARCHITECTS’ AND BUILDERS’
JOURNAL,” which may now claim to be the most up-to-date, the most
widely read, and the best illustrated of all the architectural and
building weeklies. Every issue includes a set of no fewer than six
large photographic plates of architectural subjects, together with a
double-page plate illustrating a measured or working drawing. Articles
dealing with all phases of architecture and building are contributed
by well-known men in the profession, while editorial notes deal
trenchantly with current topics of professional interest.
