The book is divided into two distinct parts, the first made up of
twenty-eight plates of designs with accompanying descriptive matter,
for arcades, loggias, doorways, windows, moulded bands, cornices,
brick mosaics, fireplaces, balconies, piers and columns, and gate
posts, all carefully drawn to scale and with the numbers of patterns
used in each case referring to the catalogue, which occupies the
second portion of the book. In the catalogue each pattern is shown
in isometric view, with shadows indicated where it will add to the
cleanness of the cut, and upon the opposite page the profile of the
brick is shown at half full size. This portion of the catalogue
is rendered much more useful than it would otherwise be, by the
classification which has been adopted. By this means it is easy to
find most any shape desired.

The choice of the patterns themselves deserves the highest
commendation.

The forthcoming number of _The Architectural Review_ (Vol. IV, No. 1)
will include several noteworthy features. The plates are of the same
class of subjects which has given the paper its present high standing.
The four gelatine plates are devoted to illustrating Messrs. Cram,
Wentworth & Goodhue's design for the Public Library to be erected in
Fall River, Mass. The two remaining line plates are devoted to the
Bowery Bank building in New York by Messrs. McKim, Mead & White. The
