Chapter III: Preface: To the Second Edition

_THE present edition is no drastic revision of the
original one. Only a paragraph or two has been omitted or
rewritten, and the one wholly new section is the Epilogue.
However, very many corrections and additions have been
made in detail, following suggestions made by reviewers
and including facts supplied by others, notably John
Jacobus, Robin Middleton, Pieter Singelenberg, John
Harris, Fritz Novotny, Malcolm Quantrill, Carroll Meeks,
and Kevin Dynan among a host of correspondents who have
kindly answered specific queries or volunteered relevant
information. No changes have been made in the Figures and
only about a dozen in the Plates, chiefly at the end where
it was possible to introduce the influential work of Aalto
and characteristic examples of late Japanese work by
reducing the Latin-American representation, not to speak
of important works by Wright, Le Corbusier, and Mies
completed since the original edition was prepared. The
sources of the new photographs are indicated in the List
of Plates, but I must specially thank Messrs Hentrich and
Johnson, among the architects, for their assistance and
also J. M. Richards of the_ Architectural Review _from
whose files come the Japanese material and one of the
Aalto illustrations_.

_A certain number of new Notes (indicated by a letter after
the number) have been added and many were largely rewritten.
The Bibliography has been extended to include titles
posterior to the date of the original edition._
