FOIl THE USE OF

By JAMES H. MONCKTON, 
Author of -The American Stair-Builder." 
Ill the preparation of this work the author has 
aimed at the most concise possible explanations. 
Carpenters have no time Cor extensive studies, and 
therefore require a careful selection of what to 
them will prove of the highest practical utility, 
the greatest amount of valuable information in the 
smallest compass. In the author's judgment, no one 
qualified to prepare a really useful book in any de- 
partment of instruction who does not know by 
actual laiiiuiiiul experience the practical needs of 
those whom he seeks to instruct. Many years' ex- 
perience as a workman, a student, and as a teacher 
of the subjects treated, have taught the author what 
is required, and also the best manner of presenting 
each case so as to make it available to the learner 
with the least effort and time.
