This antiquarian volume contains a guide to building houses, with
information on planning, materials, architecture, tools, technique, and
much more besides. Containing all the information fundamental to the
construction of a house, this text will be of considerable value to
those with an interest in the subject, and is not to be missed by
collectors of such literature. Although old, much of the information
contained herein is timeless, and will be of as much use to modern
readers as it was when it was first published. Many antique books such
as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with
this in mind that we are proudly republishing this book, now in an
affordable modern edition.
