'Like Vitruvius and Alberti before him Ware arranged his treatise in ten books. Having defined the most commonly used architectural terms he devotes the rest of book one to a discussion of materials. Book two is divided into five sections: the first on location; the second on the functional parts of a building and the third fourth and fifth on the orders. Book three begins the practical advice on house construction. Books four five and six deal with doors windows and interior ornament book seven with exterior ornament and garden buildings book eight with bridges. Book nine consists of an interesting return to what Ware calls 'the construction of elevations upon the true principles of architecture' . It is in the nature of an appendix to the whole and allows Ware to write cuttingly of modern practices. Book ten is a brief introduction to mathematics and mensuration . '. Millard." Watt's interest in the principles and practice of domestic architecture almost to the exclusion of all other building types. Ware thus implicitly supported two principal components of Colen Campbell's program of architectural reform set out over 40 years earlier in Vitruvius Britannicus: restoration of "Ancient" authority and confidence that Britain's future architectural progress lay in domestic building."
