This edition presents an early 20th-century English translation of Vitruvius, prepared toward the end of a scholar's life and intended to include a revised Latin text, illustrations and explanatory notes. The translation was finished except for the last four chapters of Book X, and many of the editorial notes were outlined though not fully finalized.

Readers will find clear focus on Roman building practice, materials, proportions and engineering principles that shaped classical architecture. The edition reflects scholarly review and discussion with contemporaries, and it includes planned illustrations for the early books to clarify technical descriptions.

Suitable for students of architectural history, classics, and those interested in ancient engineering, the volume bridges primary source material and early modern scholarly commentary.
