[This is the 14th publication from the Museum]. his was the first comprehensive publication in book form of Sir John Soane's lectures. Soane had been appointed as Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1806, and was required to give an annual series of lectures, by 1836 he had expanded this into two courses of six lectures each. They were never published in his lifetime, so Arthur T Bolton, an architect and curator of The Sir John Soane Museum in London transcribed them from Soane's own heavily annotated notes and manuscripts. The lectures are indexed as such: 1. Introductory (origins of architecture, work of the ancients etc); 2. Orders (Temple of Jerusalem, Doric, Ionic etc); 3. Orders (Tuscan and Composite, Hypethral Temples, Internal orders etc); 4. Application or Orders, Pediments, etc (porticoes, pilasters etc); 5. Dark Ages and Revival; 6. Application of Orders, Pediments etc (arches, bridges etc); 7. Distribution, Construction, Decoration; 8. Internal Arrangement, Rooms, Staircases etc; 9. Principles; 10. Gardens and City Plans; 11. Decoration and Composition; 12. Construction. The lectures are followed by 119 plates in black and white. Condition: This copy is in very good condition for age. There is some light age-toning to the pages, and a little mustiness but otherwise a solid copy and in strong readable condition.

Illustrated with thirty-eight copper, architectural engravings. With a leaf of publisher's advertisements to the rear. Collated, complete. Designs in Architecture is Soane's first published work of his own designs, primarily for Regency garden buildings and decorative alfresco structures. By the time it was published in 1778, he had already departed England on his Grand Tour. As he established and refined his architectural style throughout his career, Soane became incresingly self-critical of his earlier work. Copies of these early editions are scarce; only five copies of this particular book are known to be held in institutions, as listed on the ESTC, N49714. A fascinating work, remarkably scarce in such pristine condition. Rebound in half calf with marbled paper boards. End papers and blanks renewed. Some loss to original spine label, repaired and laid onto the new spine compartment. Otherwise, externally excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with the occasional handling mark, primarily to title page. Very slight offsetting to the verso of each plate. Very Good Indeed. book.

First published in 1793 and here reissued with a general title page. Both works could by purchased separately but are almost invariably found together as here. Sir John Soane's 'Sketches in Architecture' offers a range of designs for "cottages for the laborious and industrious part of the community and for other buildings generally calculated for the real uses and comforts of life, and. within the reach of modern fortunes." They all show cottages and villas, some of which were executed. Parkyn's 'Six Designs' illustrates six estates, in plan and section, on eleven plates, with descriptive text, indicating how they might be transformed into picturesque parks.

Presentation copy of the greatly enlarged third edition, inscribed in a secretarial hand at the head of the title page, "To William Hilton, Esq. R.A. From the Author, with sentiments of regard," and with Soane's signature at the foot. As referenced on page 70, Soane owned Hilton's 1834 oil painting, Marc Anthony Reading Caesar's Will. Soane published the first edition of his Description in 1830 and an abridgement two years later, but for the third edition, he almost doubled the number of plates and text. All three were for private circulation only, Soane ordering 150 copies of this edition (compared to 250 and 106 for the earlier two). He began distributing copies to friends and colleagues in autumn 1836. Likely due to his advancing age, inscribed copies are usually encountered, as here, with the inscription in a secretarial hand (perhaps that of his clerk, Charles James Richardson). Of the 150 copies, 100 comprised the English-language text, while another 50 had both English and French letterpress. Among the additions were descriptions of the rooms by the writer Barbara Hofland (177-1844). This was the last edition published in Soane's lifetime, and the text was reprinted many times after his death. British Architectural Library 3089. Folio. Tissue-guarded mezzotint frontispiece by Charles Turner after a bust by Francis Chantrey, 24 lithographs from stone or zinc (some after engravings by Charles James Richardson, Soane's clerk and former pupil, most printed by Charles Hullmandel or William Day & Louis Haghe), 14 copper engravings, illustrations in text.
