in thought and life.

ENGLISH HOMES
BY H. AVRAY TIPPING, M.A., F.S.A.
_A Monumental Work on the Country Homes of England, divided into the
following distinctive Chronological and Dynastic Periods_:
I. NORMAN AND PLANTAGENET 1066-1485 (_Now Ready_)
II. EARLY TUDOR 1485-1558 (_Ready Autumn_, 1923)
III. LATE TUDOR AND EARLY STUART 1558-1649 (_Now Ready_)
IV. LATE STUART 1649-1714 (_Now Ready_)
V. EARLY GEORGIAN 1714-1760 (_Now Ready_)
VI. LATE GEORGIAN 1760-1820 (_In Preparation_)
It is the aim of this great work to be for English Domestic
Architecture and Life what the “Dictionary of National Biography” and
the “New English Dictionary” are for our other heritages of History
and Language. That it may worthily take the place which is its
undoubted due beside these works in every Reference Library, private
or public, no effort has been spared in dealing with the splendid
subject.
In the six volumes here announced is systematically and
sympathetically set forth in all its fascinating fullness that
building up of homes and home life which has been so closely
influenced by, and has in its turn so strongly impressed, the minds
and ideas of the generations who have made our England.
EACH VOLUME CONTAINS FROM 400 TO 500 SUPERB ILLUSTRATIONS AND PLANS
