Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sloan's Homestead Architecture: Containing Forty Designs for Villas, Cottages, and Farm Houses, With Essays on Style, Construction, Landscape Gardening, Furniture, Etc;, Etc But little preface is deemed necessary to the publication of this series of Designs. All will admit that popular works on Architecture are a desideratum of the day and nation, which the industry and ability of Architects must be heavily taxed to supply. Society needs to be awakened, and, where the light has already dawned, to be encouraged and assisted in the de velopment of the highest charms belonging to that spot of which so much has been said and sung - home. N o in uence is more potent in producing changes in the work ings of the great machinery of society than that of the press. The reforms wrought by its agency are heralded too constantly and praised too loudly.for the fact to be overlooked or forgotten a moment by those who wish to wield their in uence in the great cause of advancement; and the present rapid development and general application of the art of wood engraving opens a field for the interchange of ideas by linear illustrations totally nu heard of in former times. With these in uences at work, guided by intelligent minds, among an industrious and energetic people the future of American Architecture promises to take as high rank in the Art world as is allotted to the productions of any age or country.
