THIS work was previously published under the title o£ "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, if was found necessary to issue a 

 work of far higher excellence in every way, and the result is that "Modfrii PhiinHiif; lllnitralcci" has 

 now been publislied. 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 sliow all kinds of modem plumbing 

 work. Each of these jilates is accompanied liy 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.
