"This little work does for architecture in relation to English poetry what Mr. Phil Robinson has done for the birds and beasts. The poet's appreciation of architecture is a delightful subject with which Mr. Statham has become infected, not only illustrating his points with quotations and his judgments with his reasons, but the whole with a series of fanciful or suggestive sketches which add considerably to the attractiveness of the book."--The Magazine of Art.

This volume, written by an American Lady Artist, and an Architect, describes and illustrates in a very interesting way the Decorative treatment of Rooms during the Renaissance period, and deduces principles for the decoration, furnishing, and arrangements of Modern Houses.

The book is one which should be in the library of every man and woman of means, for its advice is characterised by so much common sense as well as by the best of taste."--The Queen.
