Excerpt from The Cottage Homes of England
IN this volume I have attempted to summarise the history of the old English cottages and farm houses which still adorn the villages and lanes of the countryside, and in some measure to trace the causes which resulted in their present form. With out entering into undue technicalities I have also endeavoured to explain clearly their system of construction.
