A Treatise on Civil Architecture: with illustrations, notes and an examination of Grecian Architecture by Joseph Gwilt

London Priestley and Weale 1825

Fourth edition in two volumes. Volume 1 [2] iv [1] viii - li 254pp . Volume 2 [4] + 255-514pp. Engraved frontis, 65 plates. The third edition of this book had been published and reached a significant value in terms of reputation just before Chambers died and by the 1820s there was a pressure to reprint. This fourth edition is useful in that Gwilt included for the first time notes on the earlier editions and a biographical memoir of Chambers by the author Thomas Hardwick. A very nice set rebacked preserving the original spine labels. BAL 601
