Country Life
OLD COTTAGES.
More and more thoroughly each year the several counties of England are taking pains to discover and preserve their peculiar beauties and values. Private societies as well as the County and District Councils are taking their part. For example : in association with the Royal Society of Arts (John Street, Adelphi) both the Sussex and the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological societies have taken over the permanent custody of famous or famously beautiful old cottages... It may be well to recall that one of the best and most practical of Regional Surveys was made of the Bath and Bristol District. The book should be in the possession of all who are interested in the movement which is one of the most important of our time ; and may become one day as influential agriculturally as aesthetically.
