A brief history and an analysis of the architecture of Colonial America, in such wise that they may be of interest and value both to the general reader and to the architect. The subject will be treated with reference to the close connection existing between architecture and the social and economic circumstances of the period, so that some additional light may fall upon the daily conditions of life among our forefathers. At the same time, there will be a careful critical analysis of the origin and development of the several seventeenth and eighteenth century styles that have left us so wealthy an architectural heritage, a heritage based upon a groundwork of traditions brought across the Atlantic by the early craftsmen and artisans. Such an analysis, it is hoped, will materially contribute to a broader appreciation of our pos sessions and will not be without value in the interpretation of modern buildings in which the traditions of the past have been perpetuated.
