Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old Country House Perhaps one of the greatest charms of an old house is the number of superseded contrivances which it contains, na'ive engines of the antique domestic economy long since improved upon, the apparatus of methods no longer a part of the living science of existence. That powdered wigs are no longer common, are, in fact, seldom worn nowadays, by no means subtracts from our de light in the powdering closet attached to Perdita's bedroom, with the hole in the door through which the fine lady or gentleman meekly placed her or his head as on a block, so that the great puffs should not shower their whiteness over the whole exquisite figure. I am sure we are far happier in it than if we actually put it to its proper use. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Country-House Party In the smoking-room of Dean Manor the guests were sitting in silence, the comfortable after-dinner quiet so blessed in its restfulness. Patrick Davison, standing before the fire, surveyed them with a kindly eye. Macarthy, Hayden, Macdonald, West, and Steward, five of his old friends, lying back in their chairs looking content, and watching with careless gaze the smoke curling upward from their pipes. His eyes travelled to the two women present, pretty Mrs. Barnes, shading her face from the flames with a pink fan, and Deborah Hayden, the only active person in the room, who sat writing by the soft light of a lamp near the window. On the whole it seemed to Davison that they helped the picture of happy idleness. He smiled at a thought, for of all of them, Deborah Hayden, he knew, thought herself the one who had no time for idleness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of a Country House During the course of a somewhat lengthy professional career, I have met with a number of people contemplating building a House, who have not sufficiently considered the numerous points - in fact, the "Essentials" that must be thought of before any satisfactory scheme can be evolved. It is not surprising that these "Essentials" are not all borne in mind, because they are of a very varied nature, but the consideration of them is most important. I believe that my experience in this respect is by no means unique, and it has therefore occurred to me that a small volume dealing concisely, and in a simple way, with these "Essentials" should be very useful to the growing number of people wishing to have a "Home of their own," and also to their professional advisers, who would be able to place this book before their clients, and, at the same time, have these indispensable points for consideration "focussed" for their own guidance. For the purpose of illustrating my remarks, it has seemed to me that I could not do better than refer to Plans and Photographs of Houses, which have been erected from my own designs and under my supervision. I have therefore carefully selected from these executed Works those which seemed most suitable for this purpose, the costs of which Houses range from 1,250 to 4,600, and many of which illustrate photographs of designs published in my books "Bungalows and Country Residences" and "Homes for the Country."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old Country House, Vol. 1: A Novel How much more romantic than romance - more unlikely than fiction, for truly has it been remarked so often - "Le vrai n'est pas toujours le vraisemblable." Still there is much in what we see or hear around us, which less closely familiar and defined, leaves to the imagination free liberty and play to work itself out into form and substance to the living or the dead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From a Country House These letters - originally published in the Midland Counties Herald - were begun without the least idea of republication. In compliance, however, with numerous requests, a series of them now appear in revised book form. If they have any merit at all, it may perhaps be owing to the fact that they are entirely the result of my own observations, experiences, and reflections, and are not made up from other books upon a similar subject. At the same time, I do not flatter myself that I have discovered anything fresh, or have noticed anything hitherto unobserved. I have, for the most part, simply told an old tale, but one that will be ever new while Nature repeats her old story of enduring consistency, yet ever recurring change. I desire to acknowledge the kindness of Viscount Cobham - better known as Lord Lyttelton - for allowing me (in common with some other neighbours and tenants) free access to Hagley Park, where I have observed so many of the picturesque and varied effects described in the following pages.
