Synopsis

When this series first appeared in 1875 it was considered the best textbook on the subject, as it provided comprehensive coverage of all aspects of building construction work. This new reprint of the revised 1904 edition, in three volumes, contains over 1,350 pages of text and useful line drawings. Volume 1 covers brickwork, carpentry and roofing, giving detailed practical guidance on all aspects of the work and offering definitions of the terms used. Volume 2 includes sections on joinery, stairs and floors with Volume 3 providing detailed information on materials, including stone, brickwork, lime and paint.

À propos de l'auteur

Major Percy Guillemard Lewellin Smith was an Instructor in Estimating and Construction at the School of Military Engineering at Chatham, but for some reason, perhaps because the books were a commercial venture, the volumes were originally published anonymously.
