According to Harris, an announcement in "Gentleman's Magazine" (1758) indicated the intention of a second issue; none has been recorded.
A successful book in spite of Payne's amateur status as an architect; this was an advantage, suggests Harris, because "Having no career to foster, he was all the better able to be an objective observer and to provide the honest, common-sense improvements that these simple buildings required."
