This book examines a period which is far more than a prelude to the age of steel and concrete. The first half-century culminated in the bold iron and glass of the Crystal Palace. There follows the creation of the modern styles of the era based on traditions of the past, and finally, in the 20th century, Art Nouveau and the modern architects in their generations - Perret, Wright, Gropius, Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and others in many parts of the world.

Out of print for some years, this bibliography, now reissued, provides a list of books, portfolios, and pamphlets on American architecture and related subjects published in America before 1895. In a preface to the new printing, Mr. Hitchcock has added some bibliographic listings. The major kinds of works covered by the bibliography are the builders' guides and house pattern books which dominated early American architectural publishing. The bibliographic information includes a designation of libraries or other collections which possess copies of the items listed. The book will be useful to libraries and other institutions and individuals who collect American architectural works and to students of American architecture of the periods between the Revolution and the end of the nineteenth century.
