der these trials of the state and the people of
England, and the legislative inquiries insti-
tuted; the condition of the allied armies af-
ter mid winter, etc. This volume is accom-

lIgeren's IL the early winter Of 1915 From

From A L. Bancroft & Co, San Fran
cisco. we have Architectural Proportion, :"
by A. J. Bryan, architect, It is large
quarto, very handsomely printed. and freely
illustrated by photographic designs of fne
quality. The work sets out IL detail a new
system of proportion, showing the relation
between ar order of architecture and = build
ing of any kidd. 1t gives rules for fnaiug
the hight Of foundation bases, water tables,
window sills, doors, windows, balus;rades and
superimposed stories; width If donrs, win
dows, aichitraves, piIasters and posts; hight
OF projection Of entablatures, c0rnioes and
all exterior finish; also hight Of bases, wiz
dow.stoOls, hight and projection of stucco
cornices, ard interior fuish, with many valu-
able tables. The rules seem to be practical,
and adapted to the requirements of all classes
of buildings in this country. Tie tables, it
is believed, will obviate the necessity of many
calculations, acquaint the novice with the
relative proportions Of the members of a
column, and serve as resdy reference for all
persons who are interested in building.
