A general treatise of architecture by John Aheron, printed in Dublin in 1754 by John Butler for the author, is an early architectural treatise aimed at builders and students of design. Its plates are engraved and drawn architectural elevations paired with ground plans of multi-storey houses and public buildings, with classical facades, pedimented doorways and rusticated bays, which a designer might use as a study of Georgian building proportion and the logic of plan and elevation.
