PREFACE. I in tr o d u cin th is a u th o r n g work to the public, the fears it will appear presumptuous, as several of the same character are already in existence wh ich claim attention from th e ir superior merit ; still he indulges a hop e that th e present may not prove altogether u n in te r BR A S S E S esting, when it is found to contain a list of considerably greater in number than any of its predecessors . Learning from the reports of the various Architectural Societies that these interesting o ccu r e d t memorials were rapidly decreasing in number, it to him hat a more extended list m ight be acceptable .
