Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Frame a House, or House and Roof Framing
In placing the Seventh Edition of this now standard treatise before those interested in building construction, I do so satisfied that it will merit the commendation bestowed on the previous issues.
The matter, both in text and cuts, is the most accurate obtainable from the best and latest practical experience and can be followed with confidence, either in estimating or executing practical work.
I beg to thank the editors and publishers of the journals Archi tecture and Building (formerly Architects' and Builders' Magazine), Building Age (formerly Carpentry and Building), Carpenter, and others for permission to reproduce many of my articles contained herein; also the architects, builders, carpenters, engineers and others with whom I have been associated, and who have helped me in ac cumulating the information embodied herein.
Trusting that the book may prove valuable and profitable to those who purchase and use it, the author remains their obedient servant.
