This edition, the fifth, expanded version, was written by William R. Purchase in 1904 and continues to be seen as a cornerstone text in the world of masonry. It includes chapters on practical methods of masonry, a collection of chapters on the supplementary matter, and a glossary of terms.

    Cylindrical Vaulting
    Tracery Windows
    Gothic Mouldings
