Designs for churches, country houses, and commercial and industrial buildings by a representative selection of English and Scottish architects of the late 1850s. The most distinguished buildings featured are David Rhind's Commercial Bank of Scotland building in George Street, Glasgow, and a group of Roman Catholic churches by the Sheffield partnership Weightman, Hadfield and Goldie, but there are also interesting designs by such architects as G.G.Scott, A.D.Gough, J.T.Rochead and H.R.Abraham. Credit for the volume seems to belong to J.R.Jobbins, the draughtsman and lithographer responsible for its plates. Copies of the book are not easy to find, and NUC lists one copy only (Library of Congress).
