Convenient and ornamental architecture, consisting of original designs, for plans, elevations and sections : beginning with the farm house, and regularly ascending to the most grand and magnificent villa : calculated both for town and country, and to suit all persons in every station of life : engraved on seventy copper plates : with reference and explanation in the letter-press, of the use of every room in each separate building, and the dimensions accurately figured on the plans, with exact scales for measurement
An 1805 London architectural pattern book by John Crunden, issued by Isaac Taylor's Architectural Library, presenting domestic designs from farm house to grand villa for town and country builders and patrons of many means. The pictures are engraved plans, with room labels, figured dimensions and scales, and one elevation; a designer could take the symmetrical layouts with central halls, flanking rooms and bow-fronted salons as period house-planning models.
