A .Book of Country Houses. By Ernest Newton. (B. T.
Botsford. 21s. net.)—Mr. Newton gives us here elevations and, plans of nineteen country houses which have been actually erected by himself. We can see what the house would look like, and form at least some idea from the plans of what it would be to live in. No. 9, for instance, is exhibited in five illustrations. The entrance and garden fronts are shown, the drawing-room and the staircase, while a plan gives the ground and first floors. This would be of the costlier kind. No. 18 is for a doctor's house
a village street. Here we have one elevation and one plan, a moderately priced dwelling, with three sitting-rooms and surgery, and four bedrooms, two nurseries, bathroom, and attics. The cost is left to conjecture. We could hardly expect anything else; but the information would have been interesting.
