SOANE, John. Sketches in Architecture... to which are added Six Designs. London: printed for J. Taylor, 1798.
2 parts in one volume, 2° (445 x 292 mm). 2 titles, 54 engraved plates. (Occasional marginal soiling.) Contemporary half calf (surface worn). Provenance: Easton Neston Library (booklabel).
The present copy is the second edition of a work first published in 1793. It was described by Soane himself as a continuation of his earlier Plans, Elevations and Sections of Buildings (1788), "another publication on the same subject [country houses] but in a smaller scale, consisting of cottages for the laborious and the industrious part of the community and of other buildings, generally calculated for the real uses and comforts of life, and such as are within the reach of moderate fortunes" (Harris, British Architectural Books and Writers, p. 429).
