Footnotes
"One of the prettiest pattern books produced during the Regency" (N. Bingham, C. A. Busby: the Regency architect of Brighton and Hove, 1991). As with the Abbey copy the title-page carries the imprint of Edward Lumley, but the designs bear the imprint of the architectural publisher J. Taylor, who first issued the book in 1808.
