_AND BUILDING NEWS._

An Illustrated Weekly Journal of Architecture and the Building Trades.

Each number is accompanied by six fine quarto illustrations, while
illustrative cuts are liberally used in the text. Although the paper
addresses itself primarily to architects and builders, by its
discussions upon matters of interest common to those engaged in building
pursuits, it is the object of the editors to make it acceptable and
necessary to that large portion of the educated classes who are
interested in and appreciate the importance of good architectural
surroundings, to civil and sanitary engineers, draughtsmen, antiquaries,
craftsmen of all kinds, and all intelligent readers.

As an indication of the feeling with which this journal is regarded by
the profession, we quote the following extract from a report of a
committee of the American Institute of Architects upon "American
Architectural Journals":--

"At Boston, Mass., is issued the AMERICAN ARCHITECT AND
BUILDING NEWS, a weekly of the first class, and, it must be
acknowledged, the only journal in this country that can
compare favorably with the great London architectural
publications. It is very liberally illustrated with full-page
lithographic impressions of the latest designs of our most
noted architects, and with occasional views of celebrated
European buildings. Once a month a fine gelatine print is
issued in a special edition. Its editorial department is
conducted in a scholarly, courteous, and, at the same time,
independent tone, and its selections made with excellent
judgment. It is the accepted exemplar of American
architectural practice, and is found in the office of almost
every architect in the Union."--_April 15, 1885._
