J. Richardson is a practical guide focused on architecture and residential design, likely written in the late 19th century. The guide provides extensive insights into selecting and constructing various types of houses including cottages, villas, and larger mansions, while also emphasizing aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. The opening of the work sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the concept of the picturesque in architecture, detailing the qualities that contribute to this aesthetic, such as light, shadow, and the relationship between buildings and their surroundings. Richardson discusses historical influences and principles essential to good design, underscoring the importance of personal taste in architectural choices. The introduction also illustrates how thoughtful design, alongside practical considerations like ventilation and siting, shapes the overall character of a home, establishing criteria that will be further expanded upon in the subsequent sections through various designs and illustrations.
