Publisher's Synopsis

The New Practical Builder, And Workman�������s Companion is a comprehensive guidebook for builders and craftsmen written by Peter Nicholson and originally published in 1823. The book covers a wide range of topics related to building construction, including carpentry, masonry, roofing, and plastering. It provides detailed instructions and illustrations for building different types of structures, such as houses, bridges, and churches, as well as for constructing various architectural features, such as arches, columns, and cornices. The book also includes information on the tools and materials needed for building, as well as on the principles of geometry and mathematics that underlie construction. With its practical advice and detailed explanations, The New Practical Builder, And Workman�������s Companion was a valuable resource for builders and craftsmen in the early 19th century and remains a fascinating historical document for those interested in the history of construction and architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
