Excerpt from Early Rhode Island Houses: An Historical and Architectural Study
The present book is the result of much observation and study of the early colonial work in Rhode Island. Yet it can hardly be said to have exhausted even so small a subject as this would seem to be. Newport and the Narragansett country each deserve a book by themselves, and each needs more complete exploration than we have been able so far to give them. As far as the book goes, however, we claim for it considerable accuracy, and whatever may be the reader's opinion of the theories put forth in the text, he may rest assured that the drawings are veritable historical data. Every plan, elevation and section is based upon measurements of the house it illustrates; and the perspectives are made - two from pencil sketches made on the spot, the rest of the number from photographs.
We have thus personally examined, sometimes from garret to cellar, every house described in the text, and our thanks are most heartily tendered to the courteous owners and occupants who allowed us to explore, measure and sketch at our leisure, and often shared our enthusiasm.
