Excerpt from Text-Book of Modern Carpentry: Comprising a Treatise on Building-Timber The following work has been prepared as a book of reference for the master-carpenter, and as a manual of instruction for the journeyman and the apprentice. The costliness of the works of Beli dor, Rondelet, Tredgold, and others, places them beyond the reach of mechanics of ordinary means; and, being written with reference to scientific for mulas, cannot be appreciated, or even understood, except by those versed in mathematics.
