INTRODUCTION.
IN placing this book before those engaged in the practice of
Engineering, Architecture and Building Construction, I do so with full
confidence that they will appreciate my work, as such a book is needed.
The contents are made up of serial and .individual articles written for
the most important magazines and journals devoted to the Profession and
Trade, and are now collated, revised, edited and published together;
with other valuable information, given me by those directing operations.
Much, too, has been gathered in my own daily observation and experience
in building construction during the past twenty years.
I beg to acknowledge the kindness of the publishers of the Scientific
American, Architects' and Builders' Magazine, The Carpenter, Carpentry
and Building, and Science and Industry, who have given me permission
to reproduce my articles originally published in the above magazines
and journals, and which are, in this book, grouped together so as to be
comprehensive and applicable.
My best thanks are extended to those superintending and operative
bricklayers whose suggestions have enabled me to make the book practical
and thoroughly valuable.
