Very Good. <br/><br/> This Act remitted the penalties imposed on persons who had violated the just-repealed Stamp Act which had sparked defiance and civil disorder in the Colonies. It also validated all documents which had been issued in violation of the Stamp Act. Many Colonists had violated the Act because they were unable "to procure Paper Vellum or Parchment duly stamped as required by the said Act; and that such Persons for want of the same and other Persons residing elsewhere by reason thereof may have committed many Offences contrary to the Directions and true Intent and Meaning of the said Act." They are thus restored to the good graces of the Crown.<br/>ESTC N56936 5- Lincoln's Inn Newberry U NC U VA John Carter Brown as of December 2018.

Olive green dj with bw color photo and black lettering. Bw illustrated flyleaves 192 pp. with 200 bw photos. A beautiful book of the architectural gems of Britain's pre-eminent 20th-century architect Edwin Lutyens. Country Life championed his work and each entry is taken from that publication. Included are Overstrand Hall the Deanery Garden Sonning Lindisfarne Castle Heathcote Middleton Park and several others. Includes an introductory essay bibliography and references index and thorough explanations of each entry with copious bw photos. "Edwin Lutyens 1869-1944 perhaps the greatest British architect of the twentieth century was introduced by garden designer Gertrude Jekyll his celebrated collaborator to Edward Hudson the founder of the great British magazine Country Life in 1889. Hudson thereafter did all he could to promote the work of a man he admired without reservation commissioning Lutyens to design the magazine's offices in Covent Garden in 1904 as well as three country houses. Country Life published articles about virtually all his buildings shortly after their completion recording them as the architect intended creating an unparalleled visual archive which is the source for this selection of outstanding photographs of Lutyens's domestic architecture." "Founded in 1897 Country Life from the outset published remarkable photographs and the huge influence the magazine exerted was nowhere more apparent than in its unprecedented championship of Edwin Lutyens whose buildings it promoted for almost fifty years. For this book two hundred photographs have been beautifully reproduced from the Country Life archive and combined with Gavin Stamp's illuminating essay provide a unique survey of one of Britain's foremost architects."--Jacket.
