PREFATORY NOTE The restrictions, due to the war, which have been placed upon the building trades in Great Britain have naturally reacted on the architects, and consequently the amount of material at the disposal of the Editor for the present volume has been limited. In spite of this, a number of interesting houses, both new and restored buildings, are shown; while the work illustrated in the section dealing with interior decoration and equipment gives evidence of considerable activity and sound achievement in this sphere of applied art. It should be mentioned that the exhibition of the Arts and Crafts Society, held at Burlington House last winter, was fully dealt with in an important series of articles in THE STUDIO (November, December, January, and February). The Editor desires to thank all those who have assisted him in the preparation of this volume by allowing their work to be illustrated. He regrets that owing to difficulties arising from the present condition or transport, etc., it has been impossible to continue the sections on British Colonial Architecture for the present; but he hopes to do so in subsequent issues of the Year-Book, as soon as circumstances will permit.
