The American Builder's Companion - Or a System of Architecture, Particularly Adapted to the Present Style of Building; Illustrated With Seventy Copperplate Engravings #228968

Five years having elapsed since the first publication of the American Builder during which time I have been constantly employed in drawing and executing plans for buildings. The experience Of that time enables me to confirm some, and reject other former methods. Sixteen plates, which were in the first edition, I have laid aside, and have added twenty-nine new ones which almost make this a new work.
