The English Country House, a "companion" to the much-heralded National Gallery of Art exhibit, "The Treasure Houses of Britain," is richly illustrated and intellectually pleasing. It is a grand tour: a room-by-room retrospective of halls, galleries, dressing rooms, chapels, and stairways.  The 180 colour photos are culled from residences such as Castle Howard in Yorkshire, Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire to Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire make the diversity of design grandly apparent. Changing styles are traced and the work of architects such as Indigo Jones, Nicholas Hawksmore and Robert Adams.  Essential for architectural and design collections, this volume captures the decorative and architectural splendour of country houses all over England.
