FIRECLAY WATER-PIPES, 

 (Of a superior Quality, both as to Material and 

 Manufacture, and in 3-feet lengths.) 



2- inch bore, 6d. per lin. yard ; 6-inch bore Is. 6d. do. 



3- inch do., 8d. do. 7-inch do., 2s. do. 



4- inch do., Is. 3d. do. 9-inch do., 2s. 9d. do. 



5- inch do., Is. 3d. do. 10-inch do., 3s. 3d. do. 



12-inch bore, 4s. per lineal yard. 



16 inches by 9 inches, and 2 inches thick, 2s. 

 per foot ; 24 inches by 18 inches, and 2 inches 

 thick, 2s. 6d. per lineal foot. These are ellip- 

 tical, or egg-shaped pipes. 



As has been already noticed, the use of drain- 

 tiles and earthenware tubes has completely 

 superseded the brick drains formerly used for 

 all sizes under twelve inches in diameter. 



Drain-tiles are used either laid upon a sole or 

 floor of the same material ; or 2 tiles are laid 

 one on top of the other, so as to form between 

 them an elliptical opening for the water to pass 

 through. 



Fire-tiles of the same Material. 



2- inch drain-tile, 15s. per 1000, weighs 1 ton 2 cwt. 



3- inch do., 22s. 6d. do. do. 1 ton 10 cwt. 



4- inch do., 30s. do. do. 2 tons 5 cwt. 



6- inch do., 50s. do. do. 4 tons 10 cwt. 

 These tiles are from 13 to 14 inches long. 



Water-pipe earthenware tubes are a great im- 

 provement in conveying water without the loss 

 of its bulk, and also because it can be conveyed 

 any distance in a more perfect and purer state 

 than if conveyed in iron or leaden pipes, and 

 more so when coated with glass within. Indeed, 

 when these pipes are glazed the water is less 

 deteriorated by passing through them than 

 through any metallic pipes whatever. Nor is 

 this the only advantage of earthenware pipes, 

 as a glance at the prices of iron or leaden pipes 

 will abundantly prove : —

If cash, deduct Id. per yard up to 6 inches ; 

 2d. upwards, to 12 inches. If glazed, double 

 the above prices. These are the prices in the 

 brick-field at Wishaw, near Hamilton, or de- 

 livered at the railway one mile distant. 



BRICK PAVING. 

 Paving floors with bricks is found expedient 

 where stone pavement is difficult to procure. 

 They are also sometimes employed for paving 

 the spcaes between pits, and for similar pur- 

 poses. Dutch clinkers are, although more ex- 

 pensive, much the best material for the latter 

 purposes. 



Common hard stock bricks, laid flat on sand, 

 will cost 2s. 6d. per square yard, bricklayer find- 



ing material and labour ; 8d. per yard, finding 

 sand and labour ; 4d. per yard, finding labour 

 only, 36 bricks being required for the purpose. 

 If laid on edge, 3s. 9d., 10d., and 5d. per square 

 yard : 56 bricks will be required per yard. If 

 laid fiat, and set in mortar, 3s. per square yard 

 for material and labour ; Is. for mortar and 

 labour ; 6d. for labour only. If laid on edge, 

 set in mortar, 4s. 3d., Is. 4d., 8d. 



Paving bricks laid fiat in sand, 3s. 9d. per 

 square yard, for material and labour ; 8d. for 

 sand and labour only ; and 4d. for labour alone : 

 32 bricks will be required. 



Paving bricks on edge, in sand, 7 s. 6d. per 

 square yard, for material and labour ; Is. for 

 sand and labour ; 6d. for labour only : 84 bricks 

 will be required. 



Paving bricks laid flat in mortar, 4s. 3d. per 

 square yard, for material and labour ; 1 s. for 

 labour and mortar ; 6d. per yard for labour 

 only. 



Paving bricks laid on edge, in mortar, 8s. 6d. 

 per square yard, for material and labour ; Is. 6d. 

 for mortar and labour ; lOd. for labour only. 



Paving bricks laid fiat in cement, 5s. per 

 square yard, Is. 8d. ; and 9d. for labour only. 



Paving bricks laid on edge, in cement, 10s. ; 

 per square yard, 2s. 4d. ; Is. if for labour only. 



If any of these be laid herring-bone fashion, 

 add 2d. per yard to the items material and all 

 labour, and labour with sand, mortar, &c. ; and 

 Id. per yard for labour only. 



If grouted with stone, lime, and sand, a very 

 common practice, add 3d. to the first two items, 

 and Id. to the last. 



10-inch tiles laid in mortar, 7d. per foot super- 

 ficial, for material and labour : 12 tiles will be 

 required to the square yard. 



12-inch tiles laid in mortar, 8d. per superficial 

 foot, for material and labour ; 2|d. per foot for 

 mortar and labour ; Id. per foot for labour only ; 

 9 tiles will be required per yard. If set in 

 cement, add 2d., 2d., and Id. If rubbed and 

 faced to close-joint for greenhouse -flowers, &c, 

 add 4d., 3d., 2d. per foot superficial. The na- 

 tural face or surface of neither bricks nor tiles 

 should be broken, as their durability is thereby 

 greatly lessened. This is, however, sometimes 

 necessary when very neat and even floors are 

 desired. 



Dutch clinkers, set on edge, per square yard, 

 14s. for material and labour; 2s. 3d. for mortar 

 and labour ; Is. 6d. for labour only ; 144 clink- 

 ers are required per yard superficial. 



Dutch clinkers laid herring-bone fashion, 15s. 

 per square yard, for material and labour ; 2s. 

 9d. for mortar and labour ; 2s. for labour only. 

 About the same number will do a yard in this 

 fashion also. 



Levelling the floor preparatory to laying 

 down the bricks, not included in the above; 

 the prices are those in the neighbourhood of 

 London. 



At Spilsby, Lincolnshire, brick-on-edge pav- 

 ing, 6s. 6d. per square yard, builder finding 

 material. 



Paving tiles, 10-inch by 10-inch, 2d. each — 

 Granton price. 1 2-inch by 1 2-inch, and 2 inches 

 thick, 24-d. each — average price for Scotland.
