SOME ACCOUNT of DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND, from the Conquest to the end of the Thirteenth Century, with numerous Illustrations of Existing Remains from Original Drawings. By T. HUDSON TURNER.

"What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has
done for oil-painting--elucidated its history and traced its progress
in England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the
successive Sovereigns of the realm--Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved
for Domestic Architecture in this country during the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries."--_Architect._

"The book of which the title is given above is one of the very few
attempts that have been made in this country to treat this interesting
subject in anything more than a superficial manner.

"Mr. Turner exhibits much learning and research, and he has
consequently laid before the reader much interesting information. It is
a book that was wanted, and that affords us some relief from the mass
of works on Ecclesiastical Architecture with which of late years we
have been deluged.

"The work is well illustrated throughout with wood-engravings of the
more interesting remains, and will prove a valuable addition to the
antiquary's library."--_Literary Gazette._

"It is as a text-book on the social comforts and condition of the
Squires and Gentry of England during the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries, that the leading value of Mr. Turner's present publication
will be found to consist.

"Turner's handsomely-printed volume is profusely illustrated with
careful woodcuts of all important existing remains, made from drawings
by Mr. Blore and Mr. Twopeny."--_Athenæum._
