A history of architecture in all countries, from the earliest times to the present day
A History of Architecture in All Countries is a general architectural history by James Fergusson, published in New York by Dodd, Mead in 1874, aimed at students and readers of building design across the world. Its plates are architectural drawings of sections, elevations and plans, including a Gothic church cross-section, an Egyptian temple doorway with papyrus-style columns, a floor plan, and the Tomb of Santa Elena with its domed section; their precise line work shows structure clearly, useful to designers studying historical massing, column forms and plan layouts.
