The Work is designed as a guide to the making of working drawings and specifications for buildings and is a valuable and practical aid for carpenters, builders and architectural students.—The Publishers Weekly.
This work is of a purely practical and useful kind, and such as we have frequently had inquiries for. To the carpenter, joiner or architectural student who is struggling to obtain a knowledge of architectural drawing and construction, this work will prove of great value.—The Builder and Woodworker.
We have been favored with a number of advance sheets of the above work, and find it, both in conception and execution, worthy of unqualified praise. The material embraced in this volume promises to be entirely new and original, and not the mere re-hash of a literary hack. The work will be a most useful book of instruction.—The Manufacturer and Builder.
The work is admirably described in its title. The author is a practical architect and has made a practical book which will be of great assistance to carpenters, builders, and students, containing just the information they most need, and are least likely to find in books.—The United States News Dealer.
This is probably the most important work to which we have ever drawn our readers’ attention. It contains within its covers a greater fund of knowledge than many of the practicing architects of the day possessed when they first entered the profession. Its usefulness to those who desire to engage in architecture can therefore be appreciated.—Carpentry and Building.
A compact handy little manual, we commend it to students.—N. Y. Sun.
His drawings are clear and thorough and so detailed as to show the whole construction.—The N. Y. World.
Young men who are seeking a profession, will find it a guide.—N. Y. Despatch.
The technical work and general construction are admirable. The details are carefully drawn and show a practiced hand. The introduction is sound. The work will be welcomed heartily by students and young draftsmen. To such we cordially recommend it.—The Sanitary Engineer.
—Is one of the most practical and useful books of the kind that we have ever noticed. It may also be read with advantage by many practicing architects.—California Architect.
