This Sammelband of three early architectural works of English design on the evolution of rural dwellings is possibly unique. While the title page of the first work says that it is the first part of a series, the second part had actually been published the previous year as Designs for Elegant Cottages and Small Villas. It appears that Gyfford only managed to acquire one commission - Bellevue House, demolished in 1936 - and traded mostly as a draftsman. In his dedication to Sir John Courtenay Honeywood, Pocock indicates that his book (Architectural Designs for Rustic Cottages, Picturesque Dwellings, Villas) is "calculated to further the views you entertain for promoting the comforts and happiness of those rustic dependents necessary to an extensive Estate." The Preface reveals his concern about the conflict between utility and aesthetics in domestic design. Plaw's Sketches for Country Houses, Villas, and Rural Dwellings was first published 1795: "These designs were among the earliest of the cottage and villa books which became so popular during the first quarter of the nineteenth century." [see: COLVIN, p.642]. ABBEY LIFE 48. ARCHER 259.2. "The title of Plaw's book recalls the long-standing ideal of the English country estate as a place of rural retirement.in addition to several designs for fences and ha-has, he illustrated a wide variety of rustic and picturesque structures. Plaw was the first practicing British architect to publish a detailed design for an entire village (Plate 33). Plaw's influence was more widespread than his practice. He was, for example, the first British architect to recommend the use of pise, or rammed earth, in building cottages. Plaw helped establish several important Romantic alternatives to the prevailing Palladian canons of architectural design." Text provides detailed descriptions of each plate.

Quarto, 33 engraved plates (23 sepia aquatints), partly unopened in original grey boards, with 16 pp. publisher's catalogue. An excellent unsophisticated copy of the second edition. Pocock (1779-1849) had an extensive and varied architectural practice in England, Ireland and Canada, where he built the Ball and Supper-Room for the Mansion in Montreal, c. 1820. This pattern book sets out designs for a dairy, a number of rustic cottages, as well as designs for more grander undertakings, such as castles and abbeys, in the Gothic style. The final essay explores "the Causes of the Dry Rot". Clive Lucas has suggested that this pattern book could have been the inspiration behind the design for Hobartville, William Cox's residence in Richmond (Lucas, Australian Colonial Architecture). .
