PREFACE.
COnfidering the Number of Books on the Theory and Practice of
Architecture already publifhed, any further Effort to illuftrate and
familiarize this most noble Art, may feem fuperfluous and unneceffary;
in me efpecially, who, by two former Publications, endeavoured to ad-
vance the young Practitioner in the Knowledge of his Profeffion.
•t
But as Art is improving, greater Experience enables to difcern the truly
ufeful, and thereby to confirm or reject former Methods.
The very great Revolution (as I may fay) which of late has fo generally
prevailed in the Stile of Architecture, efpecially in the decorative and or-
namental Department, will evince the Neceflity and eminent Utility of this
Publication. That Tafte (fo confpicuous in our modern Buildings) which
is vainly fought in any other practical Treatife, the Workman will here
find illuftrated in a great Variety of ufeful and elegant Examples.
The Deficiencies and confined Plans of thofe Books now ufed by Work-
men, is another Inducement to collect together in one View, the moft eafy
and certain Rules to carry on the Building Art. Thefe are the Refult of Ex-
perience, and by the Author long ufed in conducting Bufmefs, who now
offers the Public a general practical Treatife, wherein his great Care has been
plainly and faithfully to anfwer the Purpofe of the manual Artificer : It is
not meant to inftruct the profened Artift, but to furnifh the Ignorant, the
Uninflructed, with fuch a comprehenfive Syftem of Practice, as may lay
a Foundation for their Improvement, and thereby enable them to execute
with Eafe and Precifion, the various Branches of the Profeffion.

To face PLATE I.
Figure A and B are rlbb'd Niches for Plaiftering.
TH E Plan a is a Semi-Elipfis on the tranfverfe Diameter, which is drawn with a
Tramel as reprefented in the Plan, which is to be made with a Grove at
Right Angles as in the Figure ; two Pieces to be morticed to flip on the Rod, and one
fixed at the End for a Pencil, &c. fix one of the Pieces equal-to half the Conjugate
Diameter, and the other to half the Tranfverfe Diameter, and moving the Rod with the
Pins in the Groves, the Pencil will defcribe the Semi-Elipfis.
To draw the Elipfis c to any given Length and Breadth, take half the Conjugate
Diameter a h and fet it on the Tranfverfe Diameter d c divide c a into three equal Parts,
and make c e equal to one of thofe Parts, and with the Radius f/bifedt g g. So the
Points ef and g g are the Centres for drawing the Elipfis to any Length and Breadth.
To draw the Elipfis d with a Line, take half the Tranfverfe Diameter b a and fet it
from c on the Conjugate Diameter to d on the Tranfverfe Diameter, and to e on ditto,
then e d are the Points to be fixed for the Line to go round, which will defcribe the E-
lipfis with the Point /.
To glue the Head of a Nich as Figure e t cut the Arch Part of the Board or Stave to
the Thicknefs of a Veneer, and bend it on a Templet, and back it to the Curve, it may
be jointed the fame as a Column, 6cc.
To defcribe a Polygon to a given Side from five to eight Sides, make a Radius of the
given Side for the Pentagon, divide the Arch into five Parts, turn one down on the
Line which is the Centre, to defcribe a Circle which will contain the Side five Times.
For a Hexagon, the Radius of the Side is the Centre.
The Heptagon into feven Parts and turn one up.
The Octagon into four and turn one up*
To raife a Perpendicular at the End or Middle of a Line. Defcribe the Arch c d,
and with the Radius a c make e f, which bifecTt at b> gives the Perpendicular to a.
To let fall a Perpendicular from a given Point to a Bafe Line. Figure G; let a be
the. Point given to fall to the Bafe Line b c, draw a right Line from a at pleafure to meet
the Bafe Line as at c, more or lefs ; divide the Line c a into two Parts, and draw the
Semi-Circle a b c, and where the Circle cuts the Bafe Line at b, which is at Right
Angles with a, which was to be done.

Figure A is a Plan to be Groin'd.
"j A I V I D E the Bafe Line a of the given Rib into equal Parts, and
that of d into the fame Number of Parts, and draw Lines to the
Arch Line of a, and likewife in d at pleafure; then take i, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, &c. from a, and transfer them to d, as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, &c. and
thro' the Point 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 ; trace the Arch Line over d, and fo for the
Reft, as is plain to Infpection. The Angle Bracket is done in the fame
Manner.
To defcribe a Circular Soffit in a Circular Wall, as in B. Draw the
Cord Line of the Arch, or Bafe Line fo called, to touch the Arch of the
Wall, then draw the Semi-Circle and divide the Round of it in a Number
of equal Parts as here into 9, but the more Parts the truer the Work,
and draw them to the Arch of the Wall, then ftretch out the Arch Line at
Length as in e , and transfer the Parts that are between the Wall and Bafe
Line, as 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, &c. to e, which gives the Edge of the Soffit
or Pannel.
To defcribe a Circular Soffit in a ftrait Wall on flewing Jambs. Con-
tinue the flewing of the Wall till it meets at b, then fet the Compafles at
b, and draw two Arches to the Thicknefs of the Wall, then put on the
Girt of the Soffit c d, which gives the Length of the Soffit and Edge of ditto.

Figure A* Plan and Ledgment of a Roof, fhewing how to
find the Length and Backing of Hips, Valley, &c.
* | "*0 find the Length, take the Bafe Line of the Hips ab, be, and
j[ be, and fet them on the Bafe Line of the principal Rafters, as
b a, b c, b e, and draw Lines from the Top of the Rafter to a c e, which
is the Length of each Hip. Or the Length may be found by fetting up
"the Perpendicular from the Bafe Line of the Hips, as b g, and draw the
Line g a, is the Length of the Hip. To Back the Hip, lay down the
Thicknefs of the Hip at the Angle of the Plan, as H, and draw Lines to
range the Plates, will fhew how much Wood is to come off in the Backing ;
that is, the Mould mull be a Piece of Wood as thick as the intended
Hip, and cut it to the Splay or Pitch of the Hip at the Foot, fetting it
on the Angle of the Plate in the Direction of the Hip, mark it under by
the Side of the Plate ; gives the true Backing in any Cafe required. A
"very lure and fafe Way for the Backing.
Figure B is the Plan of an M Roof, with Hip and Valley
in Ledgment, &c.
Note, The Back of the Hip is found another Way, as in the Plan A.
by drawing a Line at Right Angles, crofs the Bafe Line of the
Hip, as r d g, or on any Part of the Bafe Line, and fet one Foot
of the Compafs at d, and extend to the nearefl Part of the Hip
g a, and turn it on the Bafe Line, as at r, then draw the Lines
from the Point r to g r, on the Edge of the Plate, which is the
Backing of the Hip required. This will do in any Cafe, fquare
or bevel.

to give Light. B. the Plan ; the Kirb or Plate to be in two*
Thickneffes, which is likewife beft for the Ribs, and for the Kirb on
which the Cupola ftands. The Curve of the Dome A. is a Semi-circle,.
or will ferve for a Semi-elipfis. The Moulds f and c in the Plan B,.
cut the Sweep of the Purlines ; and the Moulds b a and c d are for
the Top and Bottom of the Purlines. C. is a Cone or Lanthorn to light
a Stair- Cafe, &c. the horizontal Bars mull be fquared in the fame Man-
ner as the Purlines in A. The Mould for cutting or fquaring the Pur-
lines, is like the bottom Mould f in B. fo that if the Purlines be cut to<
the Thicknefs required as in the Section A, and alfo to the Mould/, then
a is the Mould for the Bottom and b for the Top, as appears by the Lines
let fall to the Plan B from the Purlines g and h ; then C in the Plan is the
Top and d the bottom Mould. / is the fweep Mould for the Top of the
Purline h. By this Rule the Purlines may be fquared, which completes
the Work. If the Plan B, the Ribs and Purlines are in Size and Number,
as the Cone C, it will do for a Lanthorn or Light to a Stair-Cafe, &c
the Manner of fquaring the Ribs and Crofs Bars is the fame as the Dome..
