TO William Carpenter, Smith the MasonJohn AND the rest of THE early craftsmen of Rhode Island iW243'?52 PREFACE HE 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 Narragan- sett 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 consid- erable accuracy, and whatever may be the reader's opinion of the theories put forth in may rest assured that thethe text, he draw- ings are veritable historical data. Every plan, elevation and section is based upon measurements of the house it illustrates ; and the perspectives are made— from pencil sketches made on thetwo spot, the rest of the number from photographs.
