1766Best.-Nr. 38951London: J. Almon 1766. Debating the Validity of the Stamp Act Argues the questions of England's right to tax its dependencies and addresses the issue of the Stamp Act with reference to America. The anonymous author's opinion on the matter is fairly measured admitting that the American colonies should contribute to their defense but asserting that the Stamp Act was the improper way to go about it - he would rather see Americans contribute directly to their own military defense and thereby reduce the costs incurred on Britain rather than indirectly by feeding the mother country's coffers.

"Edwin Lutyens 1869-1944 perhaps the greatest British architect of the twentieth century was introduced by garden designer Gertrude Jekyll his celebrated collaborator to Edward Hudson the founder of the great British magazine Country Life in 1889. Hudson thereafter did all he could to promote the work of a man he admired without reservation commissioning Lutyens to design the magazine's offices in Covent Garden in 1904 as well as three country houses. Country Life published articles about virtually all his buildings shortly after their completion recording them as the architect intended creating an unparalleled visual archive which is the source for this selection of outstanding photographs of Lutyens's domestic architecture." "Founded in 1897 Country Life from the outset published remarkable photographs and the huge influence the magazine exerted was nowhere more apparent than in its unprecedented championship of Edwin Lutyens whose buildings it promoted for almost fifty years. For this book two hundred photographs have been beautifully reproduced from the Country Life archive and combined with Gavin Stamp's illuminating essay provide a unique survey of one of Britain's foremost architects."--Jacket.
