"Readers are promised that they will be in step with fashion, assisted in their travels, and even able to 'sketch any drawing of architecture... from which a workman will readily reduce the smaller parts to the exactness requisite to be worked from'.
BOUND IN is a rare twelve page list of J. Taylor's architectural books, "A List of Books on the Various Branches of Architecture and Building". Undated.

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
