THE work comprises a series of sixty -two plates, finished in the highest style of art, all 

 the drawings and designs being carefully prepared by the Author. Eight designs for la- 

 bourers' cottages, of different styles and accommodation, with two plates of working de- 

 tails, are given, taking up 17 plates. The next two are occupied by a design for a farm 

 bailiffs house ; these being followed by a series of four designs for different classes of farm- 

 houses in plates 18 to 35 inclusive. Plates 36 to 38 take up a design for a factor's house, 

 while 39 to 44 illustrate the arrangements and decorations of a house adapted for a pro- 

 prietor farming his own estate. These comprise the first division of the work ; the second 

 being occupied with plates 45 to 62 inclusive, illustrative of designs for farm-steadings, for 

 water, horse, and steam power, adapted for farms of various sizes, including the design for 

 which the Author obtained the Highland and Agricultural Society's Gold Medal. 



General details of construction and descriptions of each plate are added ; and in the

THE HANDBOOK 



OF

CONCERNED IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND ARRANGEMENT OF DWELLINGS AND OTHER BUILDINGS 

 WITH PRACTICAL HINTS ON ROAD-MAKING AND THE ENCLOSING OF LAND. 



By R. SCOTT BURN, Engineer. 



ALTHOUGH the agriculturist is not generally conversant with the operations and processes 

 connected with the mechanical arts, still numerous instances are sure to arise in everyday 

 practice, in which even a slight knowledge of them would be of great pecuniary value. 

 The various operations demanded by the exigencies of farm life, and the numerous claims 

 made on the mechanical ingenuity and abilities of the farmer, tend to render a work pe-

 Every care has been taken in the preparation of the working drawings with which the 

 work is profusely illustrated, and by judicious compression of materials to present a mass 

 of practical information which will enable the reader to carry on many operations without 

 involving the expense of hired labour. The following are the divisions of the work :
