We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
TWO PENGUIN SERIES
The Things We See
'They run to sixty-four pages, and are profusely and beautifully illustrated. They are marvels of the printer's and publisher's art, and should prove extremely popular. ... They are aids to informed understanding, they direct the eye and mind to a cultural discrimination, and all this with subtle wit, based on expert knowledge.' Thus the British Journal of Photography described this series, which so far includes Indoors and Out, Houses, Furniture, Pottery and Glass, Public Transport, and Ships. Each volume has been written by a specialist, and measures 8^x7 inches. The first volume is priced at 3s 6d and the others at 2s 6d. Another volume in the series, Gardens, will be published soon.
The Buildings of England
NIKOLAUS PEVSNER
This is a new series which is being launched to meet a growing demand from students and travellers for more detailed information about the history and architecture of the buildings they visit. It will provide a complete and authoritative introduction to the churches, monuments, and large houses, in fact to every structure of interest in a county from prehistoric remains to the latest buildings of note, treating them village by village and town by town, and in the case of churches describing not only the exterior but also the furnishings, such as pulpits, roof-bosses, plate, and rood-screens. Each volume will contain a long general introduction to the architectural history of the county, a map, and a large section of illustrations. The first three volumes, at 3s 6d each, are Cornwall, Nottinghamshire, and Middlesex. North Devon, South Devon, and a volume on London {except the City and Westminster) will follow shortly.
