The Architect, or Practical House Carpenter (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Architect, or Practical House Carpenter: Illustrated by Sixty-Four Engravings, Which Exhibit the Orders of Architecture, and Other Elements of the Art; Designed for the Use of Carpenters and BuildersI; manner in which my former publications on Architecture have been received, and the want of a practical treatise on that subject, adapted to the present style of building in our own country, are the principal motives which induce me to place this work before the public.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
