architects
library and most draftsmen and students must dépend entirely upon the books
in the office or school, when they might dérive much inspiration and develop-
ment from studying such books at their leisure.

Works on architecture published in Pencil Points are appreciated by a
large number of readers, the publishers of Pencil Points hâve begun
the publication of a séries of reprints of old books of architectural plates
under the gênerai title of "The Library of Architectural Documents," with
the purpose of making this material available for every one at as moderate a
price as is consistent with a sntisfactoryr présentation of the matter, not costly
publications of limited appeal but a practical working library.
Thèse will be followed by other volumes, rounding out the séries into a
référence library embracing a wide range of the best material presented in
such a way as to meet the requirements of the architectural profession.
