The contents are made up of serial and individual articles written for the most important magazines and journals devoted to the Profession and Trade, and are now collated, 'revised, edited and published together; with other valuable information, given me by those directing Operations.

I beg to acknowledge the kindness of the publishers of the Scientific American, Architects' and Builders' Magazine, The Carpenter, Carpentry and Building, and Science and Industry, who have given me permission to reproduce my articles originally published in the above magazines and journals, and which are, in this book, grouped together so as to be comprehensive and applicable.
