Description:Excerpt from Picturesque English Cottages and Their Doorway GardensA new law should be enacted for the sup pression of such dwellings, which are as dis agreeable to live in as to look at, and the punishment for the offending builder, who thus could spoil God's beautiful earth with such detestable architectural enormities, should be no less than that of being hanged from his own roof-beam. They are sore places to live in, these modern cheap cot tages. The jerry - builder makes the walls so thin that the cold winds of winter seem to blow through them. The hot sun of sum mer remorselessly beats down upon the slate roofs, and makes the upper rooms almost unbearable; whereas a thatched roof will keep you 6001 in summer and warm in winter, and the old cottage walls are sturdy and strong like our rustic laborers, and can defy the keen blasts of winter. Such a cot tage you will see on the road from Mine head to Porlock, with its graceful thatch and tiled porch and its background of lovely trees.About the PublisherThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
