From the library of noted architect and writer on
architecture, J. Sadler. Sadler was prone to marginalia
and laying in clippings and ephemera related to a given
book’s subject. The presence of marginal notes or marks will
be noted above and are absent if not so noted. The amount of material laid
into this volume implies that Sadler may have been toying with writing a book
on this subject, as we have seen prior volumes similarly "overloaded” that
were used in research of his many books. Overall, a handsome copy with an interesting
past and a great deal of related ephemera.
