BY 
M. F. CTJMMINGS, A.M., Architect, 
Associate Author of "Architecture, by Cumniings 
& Miller," and " Modem American Archi- 
tecture, by Cummin«s & Miller." 
Nearly eight years ago, the author of this work, 
in connection with Mr. C. O. Miller, architect, 
published a work on architectural details, which, 
as soon as it was presented to the architects, car- 
penters, and builders of the country, met with a 
rapid sale ; and, judging from the number of edi- 
tions through which it has passed, and the great 
circulation reached, it must have met the approval 
of those most interested in practical architectural 
works, and must have filled, in a measure, a want 
before unsupplied. 
The success of that book has induced the author 
to publish a second one, which is now presented to 
the public, and iu it will be found an extensive 
collection of desigus illustrating the features 
which frn in rnakA iij> oti'im^i'oo o,»#.l, •.<> -••— 
needed to meet the wants of the American 
people. 
What has been aimed at is this : To present a 
mass of architectural details, easy of construction, 
pleasing iu form, and generally of an inexpensive 
character, and all so designed that a great variety 
of selections may be made from them, which, when 
combined in a building, will produce a harmonious 
whole ; and it is believed by the author that this 
work will be found to be of value, and that its 
design is practicable, for there are hundreds of 
towns and villages, in all the States of the Union, 
in which the wants of the people continually de- 
mand the erection of buildings, largely of wood, 
and which in the hands of the builder and work- 
man may be made elegant aud pleasing in all their 
features, provided they have at hand a guide such 
as this hook is intended to be.
