Expand description
"(This book), perhaps Colvin's best known work, is now in its revised and enlarged third edition. The volume is the standard reference work for all known architects practicing from the time of Inigo Jones to the end of the Georgian period.... The possibilities for research and cross reference that the dictionary provides cannot be overestimated". -- Dana Arnold, The Architects' Journal
