From a contemporary review: "Ten auctions of the effects of seven architects are included in this fascinating volume...The earliest sale took place in 1740 and the last in l853 and the contents of the catalogues provides a history of taste and especially of architectural influences over this period...This is a volume of great interest to all concerned with the taste and artistic influences of the long period which it covers."
