established Palladian architecture as the approved style for
Britain in the 18th century. Colen Campbell issued the first three

designs in the new English Palladian style.A compilation of British
domestic architecture of the 17th and 18th century.The first
volume, appearing in the same year as Leoni's Palladio, was the
earliest manifestation of the new Palladian revival - it was, in
