Book Description
Excerpt from Old Manor Houses The Manor house was the house built on these estates, recorded in Domesday, in which the lord of the Manor lived; and in many cases that Manor house remains to -day, architecturally, at any rate, very much in the same state as it was in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. From these houses I have selected but a few, not because there was a dearth of subject, but because, as I stayed at each, I found such an enormous mass of material for the making of pictures, and so much that I hope will interest the reader, that it was impossible to include more than six of them in a book the size of which had already been fixed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annals of an Old Manor-House: Sutton Place, Guildford One by one the old buildings of our country are perishing by accident, neglect, or wanton destruction; their memory passes away, and their place knows them no more. When the passion for covering this island with railways and factories shall have done its worst, our great-grandchildren will hardly possess a fragment of the older work to recall to their eyes the beauty and the life of England in the past. And so it becomes a sort of social duty for those to whom chance has thrown it in their path to preserve such wreckage of old things as the tempest of change has left - any relic that they find still mouldering in the flotsam and jetsam of time. Thus I came to put together in spare days of leisure some memorials of a very beautiful and most interesting house, which is a landmark in the history of art, and has not a few associations with the history of our country. During the last twenty-four years I have often found there a time of peace and quiet thought; and pacing up and down the court, and watching the hues of russet and orange in the mouldings, or the evening light as it glowed through the jewelled quarries in the oriels, I became curious to know a little more about the builders and the building of it. From what movement of art did it spring? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Historic Homes of New England Tm: study of Old houses grows in interest with each additional discovery of good material, such as can be found in the old New England towns and cities, more especially those along the seacoast. The preservation Of these Old houses has done much to give us correct ideas' of the interiors, though many of these, with the change of owners, have been stripped of their colonial furnishings. Most of the houses that are shown in this book are private homes which have been opened by the owners to allow pictured representations of correct ancestral furnishing. Houses such as these possess the great est charm - ancestral homes that have descended from generation to generation in the same family since their founding. It has been a great pleasure to be allowed to visit these old mansions, which show wonderful staircases, richly carved mantels, and colonial windows, each one of which is an architectural gem. Through pictured homes like these one is given a deeper interest in the early life of our country and realizes more than ever before what the colonial period stood for in home building.
