349 pages, colour plates and photographs throughout the text. 4to. Very good in slightly worn dust wrapper. Closed tear on lower wrapper. There has been minor water damage to the book. Text unaffected. One of Worrley's major works - it is a comprehensive survey of British architecture in the 17th and 18th centuries and offers a radical reassessment of the styles of major designers from Inigo Jones to Sir John Soane. The influence of English Palladianism over the architecture of Scotland, Ireland and North America is also examined. Signed by Giles Worsley on the title page
