Reader's note

“Architecture in any age is conditioned by the contemporary system of economy, methods of production, and requirements of society; but it has its roots in the past. This is not to say that any great architecture is a reproduction of the work of an earlier period, but that the sense of scale and proportion and the handling of the texture and colour of building materials are not invented afresh by every generation.” This pocket guide, with its comprehensive visual index, contains 275 different illustrations, 125 of which are in colour. It describes the development of British architecture from Saxton times until the present day, and is designed to provide the observer with an adequate background of the development of building, planning and technique through the centuries.
