FOR THE USE OF

AND STAIR-BUILDERS. 
By JAMES H. MONCKTON, 
Author of ‘'The American Stair-Builder." 
In the preparation of this work the author lias 
aimed at the most concise possible explanations. 
Carpenters have no time for 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 labor and experience tlie practical needs of 
those whom lie seeks to instruct. Many years’ ex¬ 
perience as a workman, a student, and as a teacher 
of tlie subjects treated, have taught tlieauthor what 
is required, and also the best manner of presenting 
each case so as to make it, available to the learner 
with tlie least effort and time.
