  THIS 
  work 
  was 
  previously 
  published 
  under 
  the 
  title 
  of 
  "Starbuck's 
  Plumbing 
  Charts," 
  and 
  contained 
  

   but 
  fifty 
  blue 
  prints, 
  without 
  text. 
  Later 
  on 
  these 
  charts 
  were 
  replaced 
  by 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  fifty 
  bound 
  

   blue 
  prints 
  of 
  more 
  than 
  twice 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  publication, 
  but 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  rapid 
  and 
  far- 
  

   reaching 
  development 
  that 
  plumbing 
  construction 
  had 
  undergone, 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  necessary 
  to 
  issue 
  a 
  

   work 
  of 
  far 
  higher 
  excellence 
  in 
  every 
  way, 
  and 
  the 
  result 
  is 
  that 
  "Modern 
  Plumbing 
  Illustrated" 
  has 
  

   now 
  been 
  published. 
  It 
  contains 
  fifty 
  entirely 
  new 
  and 
  large 
  full 
  pages 
  of 
  illustrations 
  with 
  descriptive 
  

   text, 
  each 
  one 
  having 
  been 
  made 
  specially 
  for 
  this 
  work. 
  These 
  plates 
  show 
  all 
  kinds 
  of 
  modern 
  plumbing 
  

   work. 
  Each 
  of 
  these 
  plates 
  is 
  accompanied 
  by 
  several 
  pages 
  of 
  text 
  giving 
  notes 
  and 
  practical 
  

   suggestions, 
  sizes 
  of 
  pipes, 
  proper 
  measurements 
  for 
  setting 
  up 
  work, 
  etc. 
  Besides 
  being 
  an 
  authority 
  

   on 
  matters 
  pertaining 
  to 
  drainage, 
  the 
  plates 
  will 
  serve 
  as 
  a 
  great 
  help 
  to 
  master 
  plumbers 
  in 
  demon- 
  

   strating 
  and 
  explaining 
  work, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  in 
  figuring.
