History of the modern styles of architecture: being a sequel to the Handbook of architecture. By James Fergusson, Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. With 312 illustrations.

"When the ʻ[Illustrated] Handbook of Architecture' was first published in two volumes in 1855, it was intended that it should have been followed by a third, completing the history of the art from the earliest day to the present time ... the concluding portion of the work is ... now given to the public in such a form that it may either be bound up as a third volume of the ʻHandbook', or treated as an entirely separate work complete in itself."--Preface, p. [v]. Printer statement on verso of the title-page: 'London: printed by William Clowes and Sons, Stamford Street, and Charing Cross.' Includes index. Advertisements for books published by John Murray: p. 1-32 (dated December 1861) at the end of volume.
