Loudon's Encyclop�dia of Cottage, Farm, and Villa Architecture, a volume replete with information on every branch of the subject; Robinson's Rural Architecture and Designs for Ornamental Villas; Lugar's Villa Architecture; Goodwin's Rural Architecture; Hunt's Picturesque Domestic Architecture, and Examples of Tudor Architecture; Pugin's Examples of Gothic Architecture, etc. The most successful American architects in this branch of the art, with whom we are acquainted, are Alexander J.
