Paperback, [EAN: 9780282446154], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from The Economic Cottage Builder, or Cottages for Men of Small Means: Adapted to Every Locality, With Instructions for Choosing the Most Economical Materials Afforded by the NeighborhoodWithin the last few years, numerous books of designs in Domestic Architecture have been poured upon the public, as if to make instant amends for the extreme scarcity of any such monitors in time gone by. But, strange to say, amid this influx, the wants of the great majority of our citizens have been entirely overlooked, in the feverish anxiety to suit the desires of the smaller or more wealthy class of community.It surely is not for men abundantly able to foe an architect that hand-books are properly intended; it is rather for the benefit of those whose means will not allow them to procure professional assistance, and yet whose tastes are as worthy of being gratified, even in an humble manner. Exclusively to the latter is this book devoted; that, by pointing out how simple a thing is true beauty, the man of humbler means may, in his tiny cottage-homestead, enjoy the satisfaction of having secured it, when his aristocratic neighbor, after a profuse expenditure, still sighs for it in vain.There is no maxim more shunned than that which, in architecture, forbids the excess of ornamentation; for the rich man loves to display his wealth, at the expense of good taste, upon his walls. The man of humble means, on the other hand, not having the power to make a gaudy show, is but too often led to neglect even the little field for fancy which is left him, and hence the insipid appearance of our villages with houses gorgeous or meagre in design standing forth in striking contrast to each other and palpably denoting the total want of anything like true taste in their outline or finish.The object of this work is not alone to point out the most method of obtaining so desirable a thing as a homestead, but to make it, by proportion and judicious ornament, a thing worthy of notice from the wayfare r, and a satisfaction to the tasteful possessor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
