A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of this little work is to assist young beginners and others who, though in the trade many years, have not had the opportunity of seeing so much of the higher branches of practice as they might desire. I also trust it will not be thought unworthy the notice of the more skilful mechanic. The language I have used is as simple as the subject would allow, and the terms used are those well understood in the trade; for it is to be regretted that the greater number of books upon building construction are written in such terms that it is yery difficult for the majority of working men to understand their meaning without continually referring to a technical dictionary. In speaking of foundations, I have said nothing of those which are formed in soft situations, upon piles, or woodwork of any description; for in such cases the bricklayer has nothing to do with the work until the foundation is made.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
