a dwelling costing $250 up to $8,000, and adapted to 
farm, village, and town residences. Nearly all of these 
plans have been tested by practiMl workings. They 
provide for heating, ventilation, etc., and give a large 
share of what are called Modem Improvements. One- 
feature of the work imparts a value over any similar 
publication of the kind that we have seen. It gives- 
an Estimate of the Quantity of every article used in 
the construction, and the cost of each material at the 
time the building was erected, or the design made. 
Even if prices vary from time to time, one can, from 
these data, ascertain within a few dollars the probable 
cost of constructing any one of the buildings here 
presented. By S. B. Rbed. Profusely Illustrated.
