** It IS no disparagement to the many e3f cellent publications we refer to, to say that in orur 

 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 almost 

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

 compact form for carrying in the pocket, measurmg only s in. by 3 in., and about f 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 DuUin Builder.
