Présentation de l'éditeur
In presenting this work, it has been the purpose of the writer to follow a definite system of draughtsmanship, and to explain the various steps taken so that they will act as a guide to the young student-draughtsman. As a rule the student knows how the finished product should appear, but seldom has he any definite idea of how best to obtain this result. He will find himself drawing line after line without their having any meaning to him; in some cases using another drawing as an example, counting the lines of the cornice, belt course or other details and laying great stress on the number of lines used, but knowing little of their meaning or effect. .V ery often in the classroom the student will be found working earnestly over ~unimportant features of the plan or elevation before he has worked out broadly the whole drawing. This often brings his work to an abrupt stop, and he has no idea of how to proceed with his drawing in a practical manner. Had the student blocked -U out the plans and elevations in their entirety, he would have at once obtained a grasp of the problem which would have enabled him to carrv out his work to a success( ful completion. The experienced draughtsman must not judge the beginner too severely for any mistakes which he may make. The student is practically learning a new language, and therefore he must act]uire the proper pronunciation and meaning of the words ,step by step, before he can readily talk (or draw) with his pencil in a creditable manner. It is, therefore, in the hope of assisting tlic student-draughtsman to acquire a definite method in the laying out of his work that the following is respectfully submitted. Trenton, New Jersey, Geo.

Présentation de l'éditeur
A VALUABLE little book not only to students of architecture and architectural drawing, but also to those people who would like to be able to “read plans” and understand what they say to the builder. It is “A step-by-step method for student draughtsmen, together with details of construction and design.”
The system of laying out a set of plans is given, drawing accurately and quickly the general lines of the elevation and showing heights. Sizes which are more or less standard, and the ranges through which they are generally used for such details as doors, stairs, flues for chimneys, et cetera, are given, as are also the way these and other details are ordinarily shown on plans and other drawings. While these are intended to teach the student in the drawing of the plans, to quite a large class of people who are building or about to build homes for themselves, these will be of equal value as showing just what is meant by these details on the plans they are studying.
Plates show the usual types of window box construction, gutters and cornices. The similarity of plans and the types into which they fall are shown.
A series of plates show the “Orders of Architecture," Doric, Ionic, etc., as derived from the old classic architecture and so much used in Colonial details, noting that more delicate proportions must be used as applied to wood. Excellent lettering is shown all through the plates.
