Book description
8vo. 256 pp, preface, 18 chapters, appendix, index to places. Reprinted January, 1973. Dark-grey paper-covered boards with gilt lettering to spine. ``The present volume aims to provide for the general reader an account, at once non-technical and scholarly, of the whole range of scottish monuments from the Stone Age to the extinction of a national style in architecture during the 18th century. The book offers a complete popular description of the ruined monuments of Scotland--a comprehensive survey such as has not bee attempted since the publication of Sir Daniel Wilson's classic work a century ago. Fully illustrated with pland and views, it should serve as a trustworthy guide to the increasing number of people, who, in these days of easy transport, are attracted to the visible memorials of Scotland's romantic past." from the jacket flap.
