Excerpt from The Country Life Book of Cottages Costing Perhaps a word of explanation, even of apology, is needed to preface a new book on Cottages, for the literature on the subject is already large. There appeared to be room for a review of what has been done to produce types of true cottages, excluding the country houses costing thousands which masquerade under the name of cottages. With the exception, therefore, of one or two large gate lodges which have been illustrated, cottages costing more than six hundred pounds have been rigidly excluded. Within that limit every type has been Shown, whether built for the rural labourer, the small holder, the estate servant, the clerk who lives outside the town, the week-ender or the people of moderate means and refined taste whose permanent home must be built with severe regard to economy. I shall be happy to put readers in communication with the designer of any of the cottages illustrated if they will communicate with me. Lawrence weaver.
