Book Description
Excerpt from Crown-Harden, Vol. 1 of 3 The mansion of Crown-Harden could boast neither of the picturesque architecture of an Elizabethan structure, nor of the finished elegance of many of the white stone Palladian edifices that adorn the parks and hills of our English counties; to tell the truth it rather bore the aspect of a building of the time of Queen Anne or the early Georges, when taste had deteriorated, losing the richness of earlier date, without gaining the purity of classic art.
