"As a result of the increased study of English Renaissance decoration, many examples have been illstrated, but attention is mostly confined to work in great houses, carried out by architects of note, and the tendncy has been to pass over the simpler vernacular work of the Later Renaissance, of which a great quantitu exists." "In view of the present desire for simplicity and economy it has seemed worth while to collect a series of illustrations of simple character from the Restoration to the Regency."
