Overview

Excerpt from Village and Farm Cottages: The Requirements of American Village Homes Considered and Suggested; With Designs for Such Houses of Moderate Cost Convenience, facility in doing the family work, and pleasantness of internal aspect and arrangements, were our first aim. In the building and furnishing of a house, surely, if any where, charity should begin at home. Over all other considerations, the pleasure and advantage of its future occupants claim undeniable precedence. But true charity does not stop where it begins. In the minor, as well as greater moralities, it respects the rights of others, and gladly ministers not only to their wants, but to their tastes. To improve the form, decora tion, and finish of the exterior, and the general character of its surroundings - though a secondary consideration is by no means an unimportant one. And, hence, we have given to this point very careful attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
