, all carefully and
conscientiously described, the descriptive portion based on a
painstaking study of the building itself. The illustrations which
accompany the text are numerous and excellent; there is no attempt to
furnish illustrations at large scale, which are already accessible in
Salzenberg.
The monumental work of Salzenberg, which has been the architect's
reference book for Sta. Sophia, is referred to and largely quoted from.
The two articles by Mr. Henry Van Brunt and Prof. A. D. F. Hamlin,
published in _The Architectural Review_, Vol. II., No. 5, and Vol. III.,
No. 2, will be found of considerable interest in connection with Mr.
Lethaby's book.
Club Notes.
When in our January issue it was announced that we should devote a
certain amount of space and attention to the architectural clubs of the
country, we had no idea of the extent to which these organizations had
developed within the last year or two. The work of a few of the older
clubs was familiar to us, but it is a surprise to find that nearly every
city of importance in the United States has an active and flourishing
society of draughtsmen and young architects. It may be well to suggest
right here that any city which has not such an organization should look
to its laurels.
Among the newer accessions to the ranks is the Baltimore Architectural
Club.
