A collection of designs in architecture, containing new plans and elevations of houses, for general use. With a great variety of sections of rooms, from a common room to the most grand and magnificent. Their decorations, viz. bases, surbases, architraves, freezes, and cornices properly inriched with foliages, frets and flowers, in a new and grand taste. With margents and mouldings for the panelling: all large enough for practice. To which are added, curious designs of stone and timber bridges, extending from twenty feet to two hundred and twenty, in one arch. Likewise some screens and pavilions.
