About this Item

[5], ii-iii, [3], 7-31pp, n.d. but 1793. Stitched in original paper wrappers. Covers lightly foxed, upper portion of back strip split with small amount of loss, some light browning and spotting internally but generally fairly clean, largely unopened. There was another issue in the same year with more pages, but the text is identical (see ECCO). The resolutions were to be "adopted in all new houses built on the Duke of Bedford's estates". The Architect's Club, "the first such body of its kind in England, was formed in 1791 as much for the social as for the professional pursuits of the leading London architects of the day" (RIBA, Early Printed Books, page 66). RIBA 122 (for the edition with 40 leaves) Size: 8vo.
