"This volume concentrates on the work of William Adam (1689-1748), too long considered interesting only as the father of the architects John, Robert and James. The broad mix of articles show that his own architectural studies were wide ranging and erudite, and that his ingenious practical planning and energetic fusion of Scottish, Palladian and Baroque elements made his work far from inferior to that of his more renowned contemporaries."
