Boston: James R. Osgood and Company, 1878. 12mo. Original gilt cloth. Frontispiece, (i), 268 pages. First edition. [Hitchcock, 494].

Early American Aesthetic design by a New England architect written "to plant simple stepping-stones for those who are likely to be left somewhat behind in the headlong race for greater refinement of taste and a higher degree of aesthetic culture." Illustrated.  With ink inscription on front blank leaf "Mother from Virgil, Dec 25th. 1880."  Very good.
