The majority of the pamphlets are written by those directly involved in the successive projects.Parliament had passed an Act authorizing a bridge in 1736 and various architects submitted designs including John Price and Hawksmoor, but Hawksmoor died and the project descended into a pamphlet war, as evidenced by the present volume. After much deliberation the bridge was finally built by the Swiss engineer Charles Labelye. "This was the first stone bridge to be built over the Thames since London bridge in the thirteenth century. When it opened to the public in November 1750 there was nothing comparable to it anywhere; not only was it the longest bridge constructed entirely of stone over a tidal river with its piers standing continuously in water but it was also the first in which caissons were employed to lay the foundations beneath the river bed." (Harris p.258).

Rutter began the book when the house still belonged to Beckford, but completed it after Beckford had sold the house to John Farquhar, and in its finished form it is a remarkably vivid memorial to the house in the closing days of Beckford's period of ownership. Rutter's text is eloquent on the opulence of the interior and of its furnishings, and his plates convey the grandeur of the central tower (soon to collapse) and the appearance of the principal rooms.

Wright (Thomas) Universal Architecture, Book 1. Six Original Designs of Arbours, vol.1 only (of 2), first edition, title in red & black with engraved vignette by M.Darly, list of subscribers also with engraved vignette, 12 engraved plates and plans, without the preliminary leaf ‘The Method of Executing the Design A (-F)’ (?issued later as not apparently missing), light stain to upper outer corner of title, a couple of marginal spots, stab-holes to upper or lower margins, contemporary marbled boards with paper label titled in manuscript "Designs of Arbours No1" on upper cover, a little rubbed and soiled, [Harris 951; BAL 3720, defective copy of Book I only, lacking 2 of the 12 plates), oblong folio, for the author, 1755.*** One of the great rarities of the literature of English eighteenth-century garden architecture, with fine impressions of the plates and in a contemporary binding. Thomas Wright (1711-1786) had had an initial career as a writer of books on astronomy, but had begun by the late 1740s to design garden buildings and to remodel country houses for a network of aristocratic English patrons. He announced in 1753 his intention to publish a volume of his designs for garden architecture, to be issued in three instalments covering “arbours, grottos and alcoves”, but the publication was dependent on his securing sufficient subscribers and it was not until 1755 that the present Book I, on arbours, appeared in print. The imaginative designs include a domed temple, an arbour “of the parasol kind”, an aviary, a hermitage and a platform for open air entertainment. Sadly he was unable to attract the required number of subscribers and although Book II, on grottos, followed in 1758, Book III, on alcoves, was never published."There are no other pattern-books of grottos, rustic buildings and ruined follies, nor at that time were there any books of architectural design so attractively presented in complete landscape settings." (Harris)

It was a work of great importance, presented in a grand folio volume of 1458 pages, and dedicated to the queen. The translation set out to be lucid and unpretentious, and achieved its aim with marked success. It is accurate, and often lively, and although it does not attempt to imitate the terseness of Latin, it avoids prolixity." - Oxford DNB.
