"Plans and elevations of buildings designed by Nicholson are to be found illustrating terms such as 'house,' 'town' and 'university', and the book is as much a pattern-book for builders and a guide for architectural draughtsmen, with lengthy sections on perspective and projection, as it is a straight dictionary of architectural terms."--British Architectural Library. -
