**\X. is no disparagement to the many excellent publications we refer tOj to say that in our 

 opinion this little pocket-book of Hurst's is the very best of them all, without any exception. 

 It would be useless to attempt a recapitulation of the contents, for it appears to contain sdmost 

 everything that anyone connected with building could require, and, best of all, made up in a 

 compact form for carrying in the pocket, measuring only 5 in. by 3 in., and about \ in. thick, 

 in, a limp cover. We congratulate the author on the success of his laborious and practically 

 compiled little book, which has received unqualified and deserved praise from every profes- 

 sional person to whom we have shown, it." — The Dublin Builder* '■
