Special attention is given to constructional subjects, all important
new works being illustrated by means of photographs and drawings, with
accompanying letterpress. Thus, the practical side of building is
represented equally with the subject of architectural design.
A very complete list of Contracts Open is published every week,
together with full particulars of all projected new works,
competitions, etc.
Two other valuable features are the Special Law Reports, dealing
succinctly with all cases of importance, and “Inquiries Answered,”
under which heading experts furnish advice on various problems raised
by correspondents.

_The Liverpool Sketch Book._
“The Liverpool Sketch Book” records a selection of the best designs and
measured drawings executed by students of the School of Architecture
of the Liverpool University. This School of Architecture, under the
direction of Professor C. H. Reilly, M.A., F.R.I.B.A., has become
closely identified with the modern movement for the development of
classical design and the careful study of monumental work. It is
conducted on the most scholarly lines, embodying the best methods of
the French and American schools, and the results achieved have been
approved by all the leading men of the profession.
The illustrations in “THE SKETCH BOOK” are beautifully printed on thick
art paper, and the volumes will be found particularly interesting
and useful to all students. In view of the fact that for the Final
Examination of the R.I.B.A. four testimonies of study are now required,
the designs and details illustrated in these volumes, which show how
similar problems have been dealt with, should be found of the greatest
possible value.
In addition to work by present students of the School, and the work of
the Travelling Scholars, that of its old students, and others connected
with it directly or only sympathetically, is also included, the object
being to present a consistent and definite architectural outlook rather
than a mere collection of drawings.
Vol. I. Out of print. 1910.
Vol. II. PRICE =5/-= NETT. 140 pages (enlarged edn.) 1911.
Vol. III. PRICE =2/6= NETT. 120 pages (enlarged edn.) 1913.
