Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

LOCALITIES AND SITES. In the first chapter we were considering points on which we could expect to receive little assistance from our friends. They were essentially personal questions, but when we have once settled them satisfactorily, much help may be gleaned from the advice and experience of others. At the same time it should be remembered that no one else has exactly the same view of life as we have; and the greatest care should, therefore, be exercised to retain our own ideal and personality. Many, for instance, will be carried away by some feature in a friend's house, or effect in an old garden, and will endeavour to adapt their scheme to include it, too often with the result that the house is built round one feature, and that unsuited to the site selected. When the choice of site is under discussion, and all through the building of the house, our individual ideas and general scheme must be kept constantly to the front, or the inevitable result will be a patchwork of bits obtained from other houses. Although it is the keynote of many designs of recent years, architecture is something far higher and nobler than the cleverest patchwork. A SMALL HOUSE AT WEMBLEY, DESIGNED BY MR. H. FARQUHARSON. It siands on a site only 36 feet wide, between an old and a new hou=e on either side. It i- an example of what can be made of a new suburban "villa." The house is " roughcast" with a brick base, and a roof covered with old tiles. A plan is given on page 14. (.Plate II. to face p. 12. In the choice of a locality and site, however, we must be somewhat dependent on the advice of friends, for it may happen that, while the question of county or district has been settled on the first thought of building, we know the selected neighbourhood but slightly.

The idyllic land of Valice has enjoyed a quiet existence for many centuries beneath the glow of the silver and gold rings that stretch across its sky. It is home to tall vistas and beautiful, green forests, and bordered by a great expanse of rolling mists called "the veil." At the Inn at the Crossroads, Kamil helps to tend to the many varied patrons and wonders about the wide world that he has never seen. As autumn draws to a close, a boiling storm appears on the horizon and four strangers arrive with dark portents. Kamil soon finds himself on a journey across the breadth of Valice and far beyond. But when he discovers that the world is being violently consumed behind him, his odyssey becomes a dangerous exodus to the ancient fortress where all of the roads in the land end: The storied bastion of Hollenguard.
