Abstract 
 
 OF 
 
 THE PAVING ACT. 
 
 J 1 th george hi. 3d June, 1793. 
 
 That no person or persons shall, without licence or authority from 
 the commissioners, alter or cause to be altered the form of the pave- 
 ment, or any part thereof, of any of the said streets, lanes, squares, yards, 
 courts, alleys, passages, or places, which, under and by virtue of the 
 said recited act and this present act, are or shall be under the manage- 
 ment of the said commissioners, or in any way incroach thereupon, 
 or break up the pavement of the foot or carriage ways of any of the 
 said streets, lanes, squares, yards, courts, alleys, passages, or places, 
 without leave of the said commissioners, except for the purpose 
 of taking up, laying down, or repairing any water pipe or water pipes 
 under the same, upon pain that every person so offending shall for 
 every such offence forfeit and pay the sum of five pounds, over and 
 above the expence of relaying and reinstating the same, according to 
 the orders and directions of the commissioners in that behalf (and 
 which orders and directions they are hereby fully authorised to give), 
 the said penalty, forfeiture, and expences to be recovered by action of 
 debt, bill, plaint, or information, in any of his majesty’s courts of 
 Record at W estminster, or within the city of London, in the name 
 of the principal clerk to the commissioners for the time being, to be 
 commenced within six calendar months next after the commission of 
 such offence \ in which action or suit no protection, privilege, essoin, 
 ©r wager of law, nor more than one imparlance shall be allowed. 
 
That a book of this kind had been much wanted, 
 previous to the appearance of the first^ Edition, is uni- 
 versally acknowledged by all concerned in the Build- 
 ing line : the multiplicity of the different articles 
 used in building, even to the most experienced in the 
 trade, are so numerous, and the prices are so various 
 and complicated, that it will be as useful and necessary 
 to remind and refer to, by the most skilful in the 
 different branches belonging to the Building busi- 
 ness, as to assist those, whose laborious and suc- 
 cessful employment in life, has crowned their dili- 
 gence in their different avocations, and not per- 
 mitted them time, or perhaps means, for obtaining 
 earlier information. 
 
 To the Gentleman and Employer it will be equally 
 useful as to the Tradesman, as by a careful perusal 
 he may easily perceive that he is not overcharged or 
 imposed on, and it may be tire means of preventing 
 many disputes, and perhaps unnecessary law-suits ; 
 for, by proper attention, to the tables in particular, 
 he may readily calculate all the expence in common 
 buildings, without the assistance of a surveyor, before 
 the work is begun, which, without the assistance of 
 this publication, on account of the great rise of 
 all kinds of materials and labour within a few years, 
 and the numerous articles in the building branch, 
 he would find it impossible to form a competent judg- 
 ment of. 
 
 I am well aware that something of this kind has 
 been published (at least with a similar title) for some 
 years past, but so deficient in every kind of informa- 
 tion on the subject, as to render it totally useless. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 iv 
 
 Having with the rest of the trade waited with anxiety 
 a long time, in hopes some more able person would 
 have undertaken to deliver us from this imposition ; 
 but not finding any one so to do, I, at the particular 
 instance of my friends, stept forward and complied 
 with their request (on a different plan from that alluded 
 to) to prevent their being ronger misled or imposed 
 on ; and the late decision of the Honourable Court of 
 Chancery in behalf of this publication, together 
 with the rapid sale of the" four former editions, at 
 once admits its utility and superiority in point of 
 general information, and proves beyond a doubt that 
 my labour is not in vain. Imperfectly as I may have 
 represented several of the subjects presented for con- 
 sideration, those which are to follow will be treated 
 on perhaps more accurately. Imperfection, indeed, 
 seldom fails to accompany a first publication, but 
 whatever errors have escaped, I flatter myself are of 
 trifling importance. 
 
 The utility of such a work as this must be obvious, 
 if conducted with care, ability, and attention, and 
 with that knowledge of the various branches of 
 building, which nothing but practical experience can 
 possess, and which will at once stamp its value and 
 reputation.

 foot five inches and a half at the least in thickness, and from thence 
 jregularly and gradually diminishing on each side of the wall two 
 inches and one quarter to the top of the footing, such footing to be 
 six inches high at the least, and wholly below the upper surface of 
 the pavement and flooring boards of the cellar story two inches at 
 least 3 and every such wall shall, from the top of such footing, be of 
 the thickness of one brick and a half in length, or thirteen inches at 
 the least in thickness up to the under side of the ground floor, and 
 from thence of the thickness of one brick in length, or eight inches 
 and a half at the least, up to the under side of the blocking course or 
 . coping on the parapet. And it is farther enacted, that every house 
 or building of the four first rates of building, hereafter to be built, 
 not having each of them a separate and distinct side-wall, on the part 
 or parts where they are or shall be contiguous, shall have party-walls 
 between house and house, or other building, or between so much of 
 
xlv ABSTRACT OP THE BUILDING ACT, 
 
 such house and house, or other building, as shall not respectively 
 have such separate and distinct party-walls, and shall extend to the 
 outer surface of the external enclosures of each of the adjoining houses 
 or buildings. 
 
 Thickness of Party-Walls. — That every party-wall, hereafter 
 to be built to any fourth-rate building, or any addition thereto, shall 
 be built and remain at the foundation two bricks in length, or one 
 foot five inches and a half at the least, or one foot five inches and 
 a half in thickness, and regularly and gradually diminishing on each 
 side the wall two inches and a quarter, to the top of the footing, 
 which shall be nine inches high at the least, and wholly below the 
 upper surface of the pavement and flooring boards of the cellar story 
 two inches at the least; and every such party- wall shall, from the 
 top of such footing, be of the thickness of one brick and a half in 
 length, or thirteen inches at the least up to the under side of the 
 ground floor, and from thence of the thickness of one brick in length, 
 or eight inches and a half at the least up to the full height of eighteen 
 inches above the square of the rafter of the highest building adjoining 
 thereto, and one foot above the gutter. 
 
 Party- walls are to be between house and house, and other buildings

 each have independent walls. All party-walls above four stories high 
 must be built as of the first rate ; and party-walls to fourth-rate 
 houses, four stories high from the foundation to the roof, must be 
 built as of the third-rate. 
 
 In valuing buildings of the first, second, third, and fourth rates, 
 notwithstanding decay, they shall be estimated as if the materials 
 were sound, at the same rate that the like materials and workmanship 
 would be worth, at tbe time of such valuation ; but the squares shall 
 be taken at the level of the entrance. 
 
 FIFTH-RATE BUILDING. 
 
 That every building, except the first and seventh rate or class of 
 building, which is or shall be at the distance of four, and within eight 
 feet from any public road, street, or causeway, and is or shall be de-

 dimensions or materials whatsoever. 
 
 SEVENTH-RATE BUILDING.

 of inflammable composition or materials whatsoever. 
 
 All crane-houses, or additions to, or enlargements thereof, shall 
 be of stone, brick, slate, tile, oak, elm, fir, steel, iron, or brass. 
 
 N: B. Notwithstanding it is said that the sixth and seventh rates 
 of building may be built of any dimensions and materials whatever, 
 yet the act expressly says, in folio 1727 and 1728, that all chimneys 
 and flues shall be built with brick or stone, or brick and stone toge- 
 ther ; and that every breast and back of every chimney, and every 
 breast, back, and with, or partition of any flue, hereafter to be built, 
 shall be rendered or pargetted within and without, except the outside 
 thereof, which shall be next to vacant ground, in which case the back 
 of every chimney and flue next such vacant ground shall be lime- 
 whited, or in some durable manner shall be marked and distinguished, 
 except in the fore-front, back- front, or side-front, of any building, not 
 likely to be hereafter built against ; and every back of every such 
 chimney and flue so being against such vacant ground, shall be render- 
 ed or pargetted as soon as any building shall be erected to such 
 wall. 
 
 N. B. Builders should observe that if they build a fifth, sixth, or 
 seventh-rate building, with a wall on one or both sides, with an in- 
 tention that the said wall, or walls, should hereafter become a party- 
 wall, or party-walls, they should build the said wall, or walls, of the 
 thickness agreeable to the rate their building will be of when another 
 building is built against it 5 as the Act of Parliament expressly says, 
 that no external wall shall become a party-wall, except the said wall 
 shall be of a proper thickness ; and that party- walls, hereafter to be 
 built, and every addition that shall be made thereto, or to any party- 
 wall which is already built or begun, shall be built agreeable to the 
 directions herein contained concerning the party- walls of the behest

 rate or class of building to which such party-wall shall adjoin, when 
 •ueh additions are completed. 
 
 And it is also further enacted, that before any building or wall on 
 new or old foundations, or on foundations partly new and partly old 
 (within the limits of the building act), shall be began, the master 
 workman, or other person causing such wall or building to be built, 
 shall give twenty-four hours notice thereof, in writing, to the sur- 
 veyor in whose district the same shall be situate, which surveyor shall 
 view the said building or wall, and see that the rules and regulations 
 in the said Act are well and truly observed ; and such surveyor, for 
 his trouble therein, shall be paid by such master workman, or other 
 person causing such wall or building to be built, such a sum of money, 
 as a satisfaction for his trouble therein, as any two of His Majesty’s 
 justices of the peace for the city, county, or liberty, in which such 
 building or wall is situate, shall, by any writing under their hands,

 the sum the said surveyor would be entitled to receive for his trouble 
 in viewing the same, and twenty pounds penalty to any person who 
 shall sue for the same. 
 
 A penalty of ten pounds on persons neglecting to cause their build- 
 ings, additions, or alterations, or cutting into a party-wall, to be certi- 
 fied by the surveyor, and oath filed with the clerk of the peace for 
 the county, &c. in which such building is situate ; and a further 
 penalty of ten pounds per month, until such building, &c. is certified. 
 
 Penalty of fifty shillings on workmea offending against the said 
 Act. - 
 
 Every building, addition, or alteration, or cutting into any party- 
 wall, contrary to the rules and regulations contained in the said Act, 
 shall be deemed a public nuisance, and must be immediately altered, 
 or the person or persons so offending shall be committed' to the com- 
 mon goal, there to remain, without bail or mainprize, till the nui- 
 sance is removed. 
 
 Detached offices, or such as are connected therewith only by a 
 fence-wall, open on both sides, shall be deemed to be of the rate of 
 building such office would have been, if not belonging to a dwelling- 
 house. 
 
 Materials , of the division in the first, second, third, and fourth- 1 
 rates, shall be of brick or stone, or artificial stone, or stucco, or all 
 these together, except the necessary timber, wood, lead, or iron-* 
 work. 
 
 Party-walls, not being of a sufficient thickness, shall be taken down 
 when one of the houses is rebuilt. 
 
 External walls shall not become party-walls, unless of sufficient 
 thickness, nor shall the latter be maimed or cut into, except in parti- 
 cular instances. In cases of intermixed property, the owners may ba 
 compelled to join in building party-walls, and a jury shall- determine 
 the expences to be paid by each owner of the adjoining houses ; and 
 within fourteen days after judgment, and payment or tender of the 
 money awarded, the owner of the intermixed house may pull it down* 
 and enter the adjoining building, in the presence of a peace-officer, 
 and may remove 'goods and furniture ; and persons hindering the 
 workman, or damaging the work, shall forfeit ten pounds. 
 
 Builders shall be repaid a part of the expence of rebuilding party* 
 walls, according to the verdict.

XVlii ABSTRACT OF THE BUILDING ACT. 
 
 Old party-walls and party-arches, when decayed, may be rebuilt, 
 the proprietors of the same giving three months notice. 
 
 Owners of houses of the first, second, and third class, shall give 
 three months notice, in writing, before pulling down old party - 
 walls ; and owners of houses, having partitions of wood, may give 
 also three months notice to owners of adjoining premises to pull down 
 the same, and may afterwards pull down the said partitions, and re- 
 move furniture, &c. as before directed. 
 
 1 \ f 
 
 Persons, building party-walls or party-arches, if the adjoining 
 
 building be of the same, or an higher class of building, shall pay one 
 moiety of the expence of building a party-wall, or arch, of the thick- 
 ness required for such class of building, and of the height and breadth 
 of so much of the party-wall, or arch, as the occupier shall make use 
 of.; and, until payment of the expences, the property of the party- 
 walls shall be vested in the first builder. 
 
 The expences of building such party-walls, or arches, to be esti- 
 mated after the rate of Jl. 15s. by the rod of 272 feet, for the new 
 
 brick-work, deducting therefrom after the rate of 28s. by the rod 
 
 for the materials (if any) of so much of the old wall, or arch, as be- 
 longed to the adjoining ground, and tivopence per cubic foot for 
 materials of so much of the old timber partitions as may have belong- 
 ed to the adjoining ground, or building. 
 
 N. B. Materials and labour having greatly advanced since 1774> 
 when the act was made and passed, it is usual to allow an extra price, 
 according to the work, by surveyors j and an extra price for the old 
 brickwork. 
 
 , An account to be left with the owner of the adjoining building 
 of what he is liable to pay, within ten days after the party-wall is 
 finished. 
 
 All party-walls shall be such as required for the highest rate of 
 the adjoining building, and they may be raised by the owner of one 
 side ; but owners of either side, making use of them, must contribute 
 proportionably. 
 
 Party fence -walls may be raised by the owner of either side, but 
 must not be used as a party-wall, unless of a sufficient thickness. 
 Owners of either side may build; but owners, using such wall, must 
 also contribute to the expence. 
 
 The first builder shall have no right of soil, on account of a party- 
 wall not being half on each ground ; and if within five years, 
 the fore or back fronts are taken down, this shall be deemed a 
 rebuilding. 
 
 N .B. If the fore or back fronts of any building now built, shall 
 hereafter be rebuilt as low as the bressummer, or one pair of stairs floor, 
 within five years of each other, then the party -walls shall be subject 
 to the regulations of the said act, '

 Duties on Bricks and Tiles . 
 
 At the particular request of my friends, I have given the average 
 prices of labour and materials for twenty years past, instead of the 
 actual prices then allowed and paid, as was inserted in my preceding 
 editions. 
 
 The first rise of materials commenced in 1784, when the first 
 duties were laid on bricks and tiles, and additional duties on timber 
 and deals. The duties on bricks and tiles have been twice augmented 
 since that time. The aforesaid first duties laid on, as extracted from 
 the Act, were as follows, and took place the first of September, 1784, 
 and to be paid by the maker. 
 
 For and upon all bricks, by whatsoever name or names they now 
 are or hereafter may be called or known, a duty of two shillings and 
 sixpence for every thousand, and so 'in proportion for any greater or 
 less quantity. 
 
 For and upon all tiles, commonly called or known bv the name of 
 plain tiles, a duty of three shillings for every thousand, and so in pro- 
 portion for any greater or less quantity. 
 
 For and upon all tiles, commonly called or known by the name of 
 pan or ridge-tiles, a duty of eight shillings for every thousand, and s® 
 in proportion for any greater or less quantity. 
 
XXii DUTY ON BRICKS AND TILES. 
 
 For and upon all tiles, commonly called or known by the name of 
 paving-tiles, not exceeding ten inches square, a duty of one shilling 
 and sixpence, for every hundred, and so in proportion for any greater or 
 less quantity. 
 
 For and upon all tiles, commonly called or known by the name of 
 paving-tiles, exceeding ten inches square, a duty of three shillings for 
 every hundred, and so in proportion for any greater or less quantity. 
 
 For and upon all tiles, other than such as are herein before enume- 
 rated and described, by whatever name or names such tiles now are, or 
 hereafter may be called or known, a duty of three shillings for every 
 thousand, and so in proportion for any greater or less quantity. 
 
 The next duty, being additional, took place in March, 1794, on 
 bricks and tiles, as extracted from the Act, and is as follows : 
 
 For every thousand of bricks, which shall be made in Great Britain, 
 and so in proportion for any greater or less quantity, one shilling and 
 sixpence, making together, with the former duty of two shillings and 
 sixpence, four shillings per thousand. 
 
 For every thousand of plain tiles, which shall be made in Great 
 Britain, and so in proportion for any greater or less quantity, one shil- 
 ling and tenpence, making, together with the former duty of three shil- 
 lings, four shillings and tenpence per thousand. 
 
 For every thousand of pan-tiles or ridge-tiles, which shall be made 
 in Great Britain, and so in proportion for any greater or less quantity, 
 four shillings and tenpence, making, together with the former duty of 
 eight shillings, twelve shillings and tenpence per thousand. 
 
 For every hundred of paving tiles which shall be made in Great 
 Britain, not exceeding ten inches square, and so in proportion for any 
 greater or less quantity, elevenpence, making, together with the 
 former duty of one shilling and sixpence, two shillings and fivepence 
 per hundred. 
 
 > For every hundred of paving-tiles which shall be made in Great 
 Britain, exceeding ten inches square, and so in proportion for any 
 greater or less quantity, one shilling and tenpence, making, together 
 with the former duty of three shillings, four shillings and tenpence per 
 hundred. 
 
 For every thousand of tiles which shall be made in Great Britain, 
 other than such as are herein before enumerated or described, by 
 whatsoever ,name or names such tiles are, or maybe called or known, 
 and so in proportion for any greater or less quantity, one shilling and 
 tenpence, making, together with the former duty of three shillings, 
 four shillings and tenpence per thousand. 
 
 The said duties on bricks and tiles respectively to be paid by the 
 maker thereof. 
 
 And in' May, 1704, a duty of twenty percent, adrvalomm, was laid 
 
 on all stone lor building coming coast ways. 
 
DUTY ON BRICKS AND TILES.

 An Act passed 4th of July, 1803, to consolidate the duties of 
 excise in Great Britain : 
 
 And among others, the following addition to the bricks, and leaving 
 the duties on tiles as before. The whole of which duties are as follows : 
 
 For every thousand of bricks made in Great Britain, not exceeding 
 y ten inches long, three inches thick, and five inches wide, five shillings. 
 
 Exceeding the foregoing dimensions, ten shillings. 
 
 For every thousand of bricks made in Great Britain, and smoothed 
 or polished on one or more sides, not exceeding the superficial dimen* 
 sions of ten inches long by five inches wide, twelve shillings. 
 
 For every hundred of such last-mentioned bricks, exceeding the 
 aforesaid superficial dimensions. The duties same as on paving tiles. 
 
 For every thousand of plain tiles, four shillings and tenpence.'

 two shillings and fivepence. <' 
 
 Ditto, exceeding ten inches square, four shillings and tenpence. 
 
 For every thousand of tiles, other than such as are herein before 
 enumerated, four shillings and tenpence. 
 
 The said duties to be paid by the makers. 
 
 In June, 1804, an additional duty was laid of twelve per cent, on 
 all stone for building coming coastways.

 of customs due and payable on slate and stone of all sorts, an additional 
 duty of twenty pounds. 
 
 N. B. Three shillings per 1000 extra is laid on all kinds of bricks 
 by the brickmakers, 1st Jan. 1805, although no act of parliament for 
 advance has passed j but an A 61 passed in March, 3 805, laying a 
 . further duty on bricks and tiles of tenpence per 1000, which makes an 
 advance in general on all brick work, with the above three shillings, of 
 eighteen shillings per rod, prime cost.

 DISSERTATION ON LIMES, 
 
 4 
 
 THEIR PROPERTIES, PRICES, AND EXPLANATION IN 
 MAKING THEIR KILNS, AND BURNING. 
 
 First. — I shall give a short explanation on the 
 nature of lime for building, and describe (in as few 
 words as possible, what would well occupy a volume) 
 the qualities and uses of nine different kinds of lime, 
 viz. 1st. Common chalk lime. 2d. A much harder 
 chalk, or, rather, stone lime, burnt in patent kilns 
 by the Right Hon. Lord Stanhope, near Bromley, 
 in Kent. 3d. Dorking stone lime. 4th. Guildford 
 stone lime. 5th. Shell lime, 6th. Kentish ragg- 
 stone lime. 7th. Plymouth stone lime. 8th. Welch 
 stone from Cardiff or Abershaw, in Glamorganshire ; 
 and, 9th. Barrow stone from Barrow, in Le'cester- 
 shire, and burnt into lime here. 
 
 The first of these limes, and its uses, requires very 
 little description, it being the lime in common use 
 in all our ordinary, and even principal buildings; 
 but if a little more fire and care in its burning was 
 attended to, it would be ko much the better; and as 
 the price is raised from 8s. to 12s. 6d. per hundred, 
 within these very few years, the common chalk lime 
 merchants could well afford to make a much better 
 commodity, as the extra expence in labour and coals 
 
30 
 
 builder’s new price-book. 
 
 is not •above Is. qd. per hundred. And it is further re- 
 markable, that where the chalk and coals are procured 
 cheapest, the lime from thence, in general, is the 
 worst, for it is well known to those master bricklayers 
 and plasterers, whose close attention to business has H 
 ensured them success, that the lime made up at 
 Deptford Creek, and near Lewisham, at Nine Elms 
 by Vauxhall, and at Chiswick, although attended 
 with additional expence of carriage of chalk and coals, 
 yet it is far better lime than any other made lower 
 down the river. 
 
 The principal matter is generally overlooked or 
 neglected, or, perhaps not generally known, and 
 that is in building the kiln, whether they think the 
 old method sufficient, or that improvement is use- 
 less, I cannot tell : but certain it is, that experi- 
 mental improvement has been made, and a great 
 saving in coals obtained; and instead of the slovenly 
 way now used in building a kiln, cheapness in 
 labour is only considered. That this labour ought to 
 be done in the most strong and substantial manner, 
 there is no doubt ; for it is well known that fire, as 
 well as water, requires the greatest strength and so- 
 lidity ; and five pounds or more would be well laid 
 out in extra labour, in building a large kiln upon a 
 proper principle. The form or figure of the kiln 
 should also be altered. The segment of an egg in the 
 direction of its axis, is the best form for a kiln : its 
 base ten feet, and height twelve feet, or even four- 
 teen feet, will burn one hundred and fifty bushels of 
 lime every twenty-four hours (but it may be built 
 larger in the above proportion), and consumes, ac- 
 cording to the hardness of the chalk, one bushel of 
 coals to four or five of lime, but breese (cinder 
 ashes), mixed with coals, will go further, and answer 
 
dissertation on limes. 
 
 31 
 
 better than all coals, for the coals of themselves will 
 run and cake, unless continually opened and stirred 
 for the air to get through, but breese mixt with them 
 will prevent it ; and this is the reason why breese is 
 ' preferred to coals in burning of bricks in a clamp, 
 for the slag or iron ore in the coals unites the brick 
 into a lump, which cannot be separated without great 
 force by iron crows, spoiling the shape and form of 
 the brick. 
 
 Three or four course of bricks should be curved, 
 or drawn inwards at the top, to check the fire, 
 which will have the eifect of preventing the fire 
 escaping at the top, without performing its duty in 
 burning the stone or chalk ; for this is the reason 
 why the lime is in general not so well burnt at the 
 top as elsewhere, especially at the sides. 
 
 To enter into the minutia of burning, slacking, 
 screening, and turning up of lime into mortar, al- 
 though it is of the utmost consequence in building, 
 would be too long to insert here, and perhaps laughed 
 at by many, for prejudice operates powerfully on the 
 human understanding: durability and goodness of 
 materials is not thought of, where a builder has only 
 a short lease to return his money and interest, and 
 cannot be supposed to be built with that degree of 
 soundness as on a freehold, or by a nobleman or gen- 
 tleman on. his own estate, which he also considers will 
 be for the use of his successors. - 
 
 N. B. Two hundred of lime, and two loads, or 
 two and a quarter loads of Thames sand, is required 
 to make a very good mortar for a rod of brick- 
 work ; but the usual allowance is one hundred and 
 a half, or thirty-seven bushels of lime, and two loads 
 j and a half of Thames sand to a rod. The gravity, or 
 weight of a bushel of well-burnt lime-stones from

 chalk, is from thirty-six to thirty-eight pounds; but, 
 if laid by twelve hours, it partly slacks itself, and 
 will be nearly sixty pounds weight. 
 
 The second kind of lime I shall mention, for 
 strength and durability, is Lord Stanhope’s, at Cud- 
 ham, near Bromley, in Kent, and delivered in Lon- 
 don at one shilling per bushel ; and here, perhaps, I 
 have a just right to beg his lordship’s pardon for at- 
 tempting to animadvert or describe the goodness or 
 qualities of a lime lately brought into use, and on a 
 plan quite different to any in this country heretofore; 
 a patent having been obtained by his lordship for a 
 particular way in burning it, so that a proper in- 
 formation of this new' manufacture, but lately intro- 
 duced into the building branch, cannot by me be 
 ascertained. I saw some in Greenwich, in February, 
 1 802 : it slacked well, and had all the appearance of 
 the qualities requisite for good lime, being in large 
 stones, and exceeding light, and also well burnt ; but 
 whether fit for water-works, or not, time only will 
 discover. His lordship’s well-known experience and 
 scientific abilities, superior to the scale of the com- 
 mon class in knowledge of the tradesman or artificer, 
 enables him to form a judgment greatly preferable to 
 what is imbibed by common opinion ; and, without 
 the hazard of a doubt, his lordship would not venture 
 his honour, abilities, and knowledge, to introduce 
 an article in the building branch, of which he is such 
 a competent judge and proficient in himself, for profit 
 only, without a thorough knowledge of its superior 
 excellence. Not knowing, therefore, its qualities 
 myself, personally, by experience, I will safely rely 
 on its merits by its introduction to the public by his 
 lordship and his patent, which I look upon to be more 
 for honour than profit.

 N. B. Its -gravity is thirty-two to thirty-four 
 pounds per bushel. 
 
 Third kind. — Dorking stone lime. This, with the 
 llyegate stone lime, is on an equal footing, although 
 attempts have been made to prefer the latter. This 
 stone is only chalk, a small degree harder than the 
 first mentioned, and wants more fire, and is generally 
 burnt in a cone kiln, built elliptical and low, for what 
 reason my small judgment cannot find out; nor could 
 either the proprietor or the burner give me a sufficient 
 reason' why that is the best form, to induce me to 
 come into their way of thinking. I beg leave to ob- 
 serve, that the kilns without cones would burn the 
 lime as well for present use. This lime is supposed 
 (but I never knew it proved) to stand the frost and 
 the frowns of winter, and also for water-works, 
 much preferable to common lime. That it is pre- 
 ferable to it, is without doubt, but not equal to the 
 extra price ; nor does it brave the winter without 
 injury, where it is exposed nearly equal with com- 
 mon lime. It can be delivered in London at from 
 thirteen pence to fifteen pence per bushel, in quan- 
 tities : the weight is, per bushel, about forty six to 
 fifty-nine pounds. 
 
 Fourth kind. — Guildford stone lime. Tins being 
 still the same strata of stone as the llyegate and 
 Dorking, lying in the same range of hills, is but 
 very little harder, and burns, more yellow, but whe- 
 ther more durable, is difficult to ascertain. Too 
 much praise cannot be given to the proprietor of tins 
 stone, for attending personally at the kilns at the 
 London Docks, in the Isle of Dogs, to see it properly 
 burnt. But, notwithstanding the superior knowledge 
 and abilities of the engineers and surveyors, 1 can- 
 
34 builder’s new price-book. 
 
 not be brought to believe that grinding it is superior 
 to the old way of slacking it properly. I do not 
 recollect reading that any of the antients made use 
 of that method in any of the famous structures time 
 has permitted to remain, as models for the admiration '•* 
 of modern artists. I well remember their being par- 
 ticular as to the water, for slacking and making up, 
 to the right time of the year, and length of time to 
 lie before it it should be used, and also to its burn- 
 ing, but not a syllable about grinding it ; and one 
 reason against it, among many others, is, that if the 
 lime is only half burnt, by grinding it cannot be dis- 
 covered, which by slacking is disclosed immediately; 
 and this chiefly convinces me that the brick-work 
 done in the summer of 1801 , in the large Dock, at 
 Blackwall, the joints, a great part of the way up, 
 were drawn out by the frost, and obliged to be 
 pointed. If so little frost as there was that year 
 has had such an effect, what would a severe winter 
 do? Now, with submission to better judgment, in- 
 stead of pointing it with the same lime as the bricks 
 were laid in, it should have been done with the best 
 Welch or Barrow stone burnt lime, mixt with the 
 clinkers of a furnace (or slag), ground and sifted 
 very fine, which is the best cement for water, unless 
 when the best real Dutch terras is to be got — and 
 that is scarcely preferable. Another reason for slack- 
 ing the lime, is the many large stones in this, as 
 well as the Dorking, lime, that remains unburnt, 
 which will discover themselves in the slacking, but 
 not in the grinding. Some of the stones are put into 
 the kiln so large, that they are not burnt through, 
 and leave the middle of them as unburnt as ever, 
 when the smaller stones are burnt to powder.

 The weight of a bushel of this lime is from forty- 
 eight to fifty-six pounds, which is proof sufficient 
 that it is not enough burnt. 
 
 N. B. There is so small a difference between the 
 ) Ryegate, Dorking, and Guildford stone lime, that 
 it is scarcely worth making distinction. 
 
 Fifth kind. — Shell lime. This lime is seldom burnt 
 or used in England, except in some places on the 
 sea-coast where chalk or stone is scarce. It was used, 
 at first by Mr. Smeaton, F.R.S. engineer to the build- 
 ing of Ramsgate Pier, and esteemed by him a most 
 excellent cement ; but he afterwards found a better, 
 from Barrow, in Leicestershire, which coming very 
 expensive, Mr. Smeaton continued to use the shell 
 lime for backing in, and the other lime for setting 
 the fronts only. Shells make a very good and durable 
 lime, and it is to be lamented that it is not more in 
 use in England. In America, all along the sea-coast, 
 no other kind of lime is used ; and the shells are in 
 such amazing abundance on Charlestown Bar, South 
 Carolina, that may be seen from thirty to fifty 
 carts and waggons loading with shells at the same 
 time, at low water, and the next tide would bring up 
 as many more ; and, if they were taken away, would 
 be still repeated, and so on successively. The weight 
 I never remember to have heard. It wants no screen- 
 ing, and has much of the quality and appearance of 
 the Dutch terras. 
 
 I am informed, in Persia, and many Provinces in 
 the East Indies, especially on the sea-coasts, no other 
 lime is made but of shells. 
 
 Sixth kind. — The Kentish ragg-stone. The lime 
 that is burnt of this stone is an exceeding strong and 
 good cement ; it burns brown, and is made from the 
 top part of the quarries, before they get at the real 
 
30 BUILDER’S NEW PRICE-BOOK. 
 
 ragg- stone, and is called cork, because softer, and 
 rises not in such solid bodies. The stones must be ; 
 broke in pieces, not so large as a man’s fist, and burnt 
 in a kiln with a cone chimney or vent, from twenty 
 to thirty feet high. The only place where this lime is fu 
 burnt, near London, is at Nine Elms, near Vauxhall, 
 and sold at two shillings and two-pence per bushel, 
 which generally weighs about ninety-four pounds. 
 
 This lime is in great request, for its great strength, 
 with the sugar-bakers and soap-makers, and also for 
 water-works : a great deal is sent to the West Indies 
 in hogsheads and other casks. The kilns are in 
 general three feet diameter at the bottom, ten feet 
 diameter at top, and twelve feet deep, which will 
 burn one hundred and fifty bushels of lime every 
 thirty-six to forty-eight hours, when the fire must 
 be let out to cool. The proprietor of this stone 
 lime manufactory, having no competitor, has made 
 an ample fortune in a few years, and has four of these 
 kilns continually burning, and yet can scarcely half 
 supply his customers, so great is his demand for this 
 excellent lime. 
 
 Seventh kind. — Plymouth stone lime. This is a 
 
 « V 
 
 dirty, blue stone, and is broke and burnt in kilns just 
 in the same manner as the former, and at the same 
 place, the same price, and by the same person. This 
 stone burns to a beautiful white lime, but it has not 
 the strength of the former, although in general used 
 in all the purposes of the other. It is greatly to be 
 regreted, that the outside nine inches of the London 
 Docks, in the Isle of Dogs, was not laid with either 
 of the two last limes, at least if they would not go to 
 the ex pence of the Welch or Barrow stone lime ; but 
 in such a national concern as that, no expence should 
 be spared to make it the most complete work of the 
 
dissertation on limes. 
 
 37 
 
 kind in the universe. The weight of a bushel of this 
 lime is about eighty-six pounds. 
 
 Eighth Kind. — Welch stone lime. This stone comes 
 from Cardiff and Abershaw, in Glamorganshire. This, 
 > Mr. Smeaton, the famous engineer, and F. R. S. 
 (who among other great works, erected the Edy- 
 stone Lighthouse) calls the best of lime ; and, from 
 his long experience and great knowledge in the many 
 great works he has built, no doubt can be entertained 
 of his veracity. His treatise on the Edystone 
 Lighthouse, and the great care he took to get the 
 best mortar or cement in that most difficult under- 
 taking, proves that the minutest parts of the great 
 whole did not escape his penetration, and the success 
 in finishing that very dangerous work, proves his 
 great judgment and sagacity. 
 
 Ninth kind. — Barrow lime. Which is from an ex- 
 cellent blue rock wynn stone in Leicestershire, on 
 the banks of the river Soar, near the Trent, and is, as 
 the great Mr. Brindley the famous civil engineer 
 called it, a most excellent lime , and which he always 
 made use of in all his locks, tunnels, and water- 
 mill works, at any distance or expence, wherever 
 it was necessary to use a mortar or strong cement 
 under water ; and Mr. Smeaton, another engineer of 
 the greatest abilities, calls that made of the Welch 
 stone the best of lime. It is very difficult to give any 
 j decided opinion of the preference in goodness, 
 strength, and durability to either of these limes, they 
 are both so good and durable when well and properly 
 burnt, carefully slacked, and made into mortar, and 
 also well beaten when used, that it is not in my 
 power, nor I believe in any ones else to distinguish 
 any difference ; and when we consider the character 
 j given them both by the two ablest civil engineers, of 
 j any age or country, to which may be added Mr.

38 DISSERTATION ON LIMES. 
 
 Isaac Ware, the celebrated architect, who, in hb 
 Palladio, praises the blue cock wynn stone, as making 
 the best lime for strength and duration, especially for 
 water works, in this country, we may safely pronounce 
 them both perfect in their kind as far as perfection 
 is possible. 
 
 I find on reading Nichols’s History, and Throsby’s 
 Views of Leicestershire, that the Barrow stone lime 
 was used in the construction of Ramsgate pier when 
 all others had failed. This lime makes a cement 
 which resists all weathers ; it fixes immediately under 
 water, and soon acquires the consistency of stone ; 
 and has all the merit, strength, and durability of the 
 real Dutch tarras, if not superior to it, and at less 
 than one third of the expence. 
 
 No lime has been burnt from the Welch stone, in 
 or near London, by reason of the great expence of 
 freight ; nor is any lime brought to town of it already 
 burnt ; but the Barrow stone lime has been lately 
 introduced to the notice and consideration of West 
 India merchants, architects, builders, sugar bakers. 
 See. See. where strength and duration is regarded, 
 especially in stucco, and under water, lining of reser- 
 voirs, malting cisterns and floors, equal to grey or 
 red plaster, and not a quarter the price; and is for the 
 accommodation of the public, brought fresh every 
 week from the kilns in close hogsheads, from the 
 country, till a proper place can be procured in or 
 near London to burn it, and sold at No. 1, New 
 Street, St. Katharines, near the Tower, at only two 
 shillings per bushel, by the hogshead, or in small 
 quantities, and delivered at the shortest notice, at two 
 shillings and twopence per bushel. 
 
 N. B. It will be carefully selected and casked up 
 in tight butts, pipes, hogsheads, and barrels, to order, 
 and inclosed in larger casks for exportation ; it will 
 
 I 
 
dissertation on dimes. 39 
 
 endure long voyages of several months without 
 slacking, and take up but little room. 
 
 A bushel of this lime weighs only from 70 to 74lbs. 
 
 I think Mr. Smeaton says, the Welch stone, as 
 also does Mr. Ware of the Barrow stone, to burn it 
 properly, will take sixty hours with a good fire, and 
 will lose about one third of its weight in burning; 
 but as he does not mention its being broke to burn, 
 we must suppose it to be put into the kiln in the 
 lumps as they rise, which isoften fifty to seventy pounds 
 weight or more. With due submission to such great 
 jud ges, we may believe, if the stones were broke as 
 the Kentish ragg, or Plymouth stone, which is, I 
 think, nearly as hard, I should think forty-eight 
 hours, with a good fire, would burn a kiln off well* 
 of good lime: but nicety in burning from the same 
 stone need not be observed. 
 
 As lime may be made of different materials, such 
 as chalk, shells, and different kinds of stone, it must 
 be observed, that the harder the materials the better 
 the lime, which makes the stone lime to be preferable: 
 and of that the harder the better. In England, the 
 red, or blueish wynn stone is the best. Mr. Brindley, 
 Mr. Smeaton, as also Mr, Ware, the celebrated archi- 
 tect, in his folio volume of British Palladio, and all 
 other English architects, speak highly in praise of 
 the blue wynn stone for the best lime, which is the 
 Barrow stone from Leicestershire above mentioned. 
 In Italy, marble is cheap and plentiful, and they 
 make of it a most excellent lime. Portland stone 
 will make good lime. 
 
 Every stone that will ferment with acid, such as 
 aqua fortis, will make good lirne, and the more round 
 and solid the better, which makes the Welch and 
 Barrow stone preferred; where the stone comes from 
 a rock, or bed, such as the Barrow blue wynn stone,

 have not thought it beneath their notice to write 
 
 vo.umes on that most useful article. 
 
 CEMENT, 
 
 In a general sense, is any composition of a glutinous 
 or tenacious nature, proper to bind, unite, or keep 
 things in cohesion. 1 
 
 Theie are several sorts of cement, some for wa- 
 ter-work, others for fire-work ; others, again, to bind 
 or unite a block of bricks together for carving- 
 scrolls, capitals, &c. &c. This latter is of two 
 sorts: the hot cement is made of resin, bees’ wax 
 brick dust, and chalk, boiled together. The bricks 
 must be rubbed square and even, on a rubbing-stone 
 and heated and rubbed together after with the ce- 
 ment between them, like two planed boards glued-r- 
 t e closer the better. The cold cement is made of 
 old Cheshire cheese, grated very small, mixed with 
 milk quick-lime, and whites of eggs. The bricks to 
 be mobed sejuare and even, as before. 
 
 Glass, powdered, sea salt and iron filings, in equal

 quantities, mixed with good loam, makes a hard and 
 durable cement. 
 
 " Cement to mend broken china or glass. Take the 
 juice of garlic, stamped in a stone mortar ; this 
 carefully applied will join the parts so close as scarcely 
 to be perceived. 
 
 Another cement for the above purpose, is, by 
 beating the white of an egg very clear, and mixing it 
 with pounded stone lime, unslacked, sifted through 
 a piece of muslin, or silk, or isinglass, and lime as 
 above mentioned mixed together, and a little water 
 added ; the mended articles are to be set in the shade 
 to dry, and not before a fire. Oyster- shells, calcined, 
 mixed, beat, and sifted, as above, will also, when 
 made into a kind of thin paste, hold china, glass, or 
 earthenware, by being, when set or mended, pressed 
 together for a few minutes. 
 
 Oyster-shells calcined, well pounded, and sifted 
 through muslin or silk, and then ground on a hard 
 stone till reduced to powder, mixed with the whites 
 of eggs, and with the powder, make a paste or glue : 
 with this, anything may be joined of hard substance, 
 and holding it close a few minutes to dry, it will 
 stand both fire and water. Any small hole, or crack, 
 may be stopped in the same manner. 
 
 A strong cement for wood, stone, earthen ware, 
 and glass: let thin shavings of sweet cheese bestirred 
 with boiling water; and when the tenacious slime 
 has been worked with other hot water, let it be mixed 
 on a hot stone, with a proper quantity of unslacked 
 stone lime, pounded and sifted very fine into the con- 
 sistency of a paste: it is a most strong and durable 
 cement; and when dry it will not be affected by 
 water. 
 
 A strong and useful cement for joining marble, 
 alabaster, porphyry, and all other hard stones : melt

 matter pulverised (burnt), as the body to be ce- 
 mented is composed of, well pounded and sifted, and 
 stirred well together; let the whole mass be kneaded ® 
 in water, and heated when applied to the heated parts 
 of the body to be cemented. The colour of this 
 mass or cement may be adapted to that of the body 
 on which it is employed, by varying the proportion of 
 the powdered matter added to the bees’ wax and resin. 
 
 Dr. Higgins had a patent in 1779, now expired, 
 for his invention of a water cement, or stucco, as 
 follows : fifty-six pounds of pure coarse sand, forty- 
 two pounds of pure fine sand, mix them together, 
 and moisten them thoroughly with lime water; to 
 the wetted sand add fourteen pounds of pure fresh- 
 burnt lime, and, while beating them up together, 
 fourteen pounds of bone-ash ; the quicker and more 
 perfectly these materials are beaten together, and the 
 sooner used, the better will the cement be. Fine sand 
 alone, or coarse sand alone, will do for some works ; 
 but the finer the sand, the more lime must be used. 
 
 Dr. Williams, in 1780 (term expired), had a patent 
 for the invention of a new mortar, or stucco, as fol- 
 lows; to twelve pounds of pure lime, ten pounds of 
 water, and eighty-four pounds of pure coarse sand, 
 add four pounds of grated skimmed-milk cheese : let 
 the whole be worked up together, and used as soon 
 as possible after. Care must be taken in using this 
 mortar, that the bricks are perfectly dry that are to 
 be covered with it; and in laying it on, the greater 
 the impressure the better. 
 
 To make an exceeding strong cement, which is 
 scarcely inferior to stone: take lime well slacked, 
 and sand, in equal quantities, temper it with linseed 
 oil to the consistency of mortar; beat it well on a 
 
DISSERTATION on cements, See. 43 
 
 stone or wood floor, or in a trough, and then spread 
 it on a wall to a competent thickness, and it will be- 
 come as hard as stone, and last for ages. 
 
 If dials are to be formed of the above cement 
 # against old stone or brick walls, let the face be 
 chipped away a bit, with a bricklayer’s hammer, or 
 a mallet and chissel, and drench it well with white 
 
 lead and linseed oil, till it will drink no more.

 It is the property of this cement or mortar, to 
 become hard and impenetrable to water, even to the 
 action of the sea, within a few hours; and to form so 
 strong an union with brick and stone, as to commu- 
 nicate great stability and duration to all buildings in 
 which it is introduced. The setting is so expeditious 
 and permanent, that it may frequently be used in the 
 winter without danger from, frost. It is to be made 
 up into mortar, in such quantities only as can be 
 used before it sets; the bricks should be perfectly 
 clean, and well moistened with water before the 
 work is began, at per bushel, 5s. 6d. 
 
 STUCCO. 
 
 ♦ 
 
 About an equal quantity of cement and clean sharp 
 sand, mixed together, form a very hard and durable 
 stucco ; or, it may be had ready mixed and fit for 
 use. The first coat should be of a coarse kind, and 
 laid on pretty thick; the finishing coat, fine and well 
 worked with a float. If the sand be wet or damp, 
 the stucco must be used immediately ; it may be 
 coloured when finished with a wash, composed of 
 one gallon of water, four ounces of green copperas,

 In Persia, and many other places in the East, the 
 roofs of their houses are nearly flat, and are covered 
 with the following cement, or composition, instead of 
 lead, which is impervious to all rain, and dries nearly 
 as hard as stone, without cracking; and not a drop of 
 rain can ooze through. 
 
 The composition is nothing more than shell-lime 
 well burnt, and mixed with molosses, of each an equal 
 quantity, mixed and worked up into a paste, or stiff 
 mortar, with oil, and spread on the roof with a smooth- 
 ing wooden instrument, not much unlike a plasterer’s 
 trowel, but pressed down as hard and smooth as possible. 
 
 Where the molosses are not to be had, they use 
 some other of such resinous substance. 
 
 They also 3dd to the shell lime some kind of acid, 
 impressed from plants, and mixed with tar into the 
 consistency of dough for bread, and laid on and 
 pressed ciose down as before.

 nature of tlie soil or state of earth, which 
 must be perforated through, some being a 
 rock of stone, as Sapperton tunnel, which 
 unites the Thames with the Severn, in the 
 county of Gloucester, and cost about 8 
 guineas per yard cube. Others are loose 
 stones ; clay and earl If, like the tunnel 
 under Hare-castle, in Staffordshire, which 
 cost about 3l. 10 s. per yard cube ; but it 
 must be observed that labour as well as 
 materials are full one-third dearer now 
 than when that first famous tunnel at 
 Harecastle in Staffordshire was completed 
 by the great Mr. Brindley ; and, ex- 
 clusive of what it cost otherwise, it 
 must be in a great measure discretion-

 nerally wheeled to the tunnel’s mouth for 
 every 100 yards in length of wheeling. 
 The carting afterwards is according to 
 distance, as is the depth to raise it to the 
 top. The tunnel intended to be carried 
 under the Thames from Gravesend, in 
 Kent, to the opposite shore, in Essex, Mr. 
 Dodd, the engineer, states to have cost 
 1 2 l. per yard, running measure. If the # 
 engineer means so much per yard, digging 
 and taken away only, it is greatly too 
 much, but if to dig, take away, and turn 
 the whole cylinder over with stone, as 
 his estimate states, it is vastly too little, 
 for the turning over the cylinder only 
 with key stones, according to his own 
 proposition, will cost per yard, run, above

 the tunnel Is. ( 5 d. to 2 s. per yard cube,

 JThe turning 4 inches of brick-work with a 
 close joint, and old iron hoops to work in, 
 
 to be paid for extra 
 
 To make the oven keep the heat, is to bring 
 up the sides almost streight from the 
 haunch to near the door frame, and then 
 give it a sudden turn or check to the 
 
 O 
 
 mouth, as sharp as at the haunch. 
 
 If a stone bottom, or search, that must be 
 measured by. itself, and charged accord- 
 ingly, but not deducted out of the brick- 
 work, at per foot running. The bottom 
 at per foot superficial. 
 
 The second way to measure an oven is, to 
 take the whole burr, cube it, and deduct 
 1-gtli, and divide the remainder by 272 
 
 to reduced brick- work, at per rod 12 
 
 Thirdly, measure the whole burr solid at per 
 
 foot cube, and no deduction 0 
 
 K. B. Any oven maybe built at per bushel, ^ 
 according to situation, as if built singly 
 by itself, or assisted by old walls, or new J ^ 
 Respecting measuring ovens, coppers, or 
 -other work of that kind : take the whole 
 dimensions in cubic feet, and deduct the 
 ash-hole only ; then multiply by 8 and 
 divide by g ) which reduces it into one brick 
 and half work. 
 
 To construct an oven to heat with coals : let 
 the frame and door be about a foot square, 
 like a copper door, and the bars about 18 
 or 20 inches long, and level with the bot- 
 tom of the oven : and let the flue be about 
 18 inches square, for the fire to shoot 
 slanting into the oven, at the shoulder, so 
 as the fire to fly right up the crown, and

 • A SECOND TABLE OF BRICK- WORK. 
 
 The number of rods contained on the superfices or face of the wall or 
 building, from half a brick to four bricks and a half in thickness, and reduced 
 to the standard measure of one brick and a half thick, being already cast up, 
 there is nothing to do but multiply the length and height, and the table will 
 give the true contents in rods, quarters, and feet, of the walk 
 
 The wall reduced to one brick and a half.

 EXPLANATION 
 
 OF THE FOREGOING TABLE. j 
 
 At the head of the table you have the thickness of any wall in 
 bricks and half-bricks, for any thickness from- half a brick to fousCf 
 bricks and a half thick, under their several columns $ and in the first, J 
 towards the left hand, yon have the number of rods that any wall j 
 contains, upon the superfices thereof, from one quarter of a rod to d 
 21 rods y and in the several columns you have the rods, quarters, 
 and feet, reduced to the standard thickness of one brick and a half, j 
 as will best appear by two or three following examples. 
 
 me of tU Cafife. 
 
 EXAMPLE 1. 
 
 If a --wall, measured on the superfices thereof, be found to contain 
 g rods, and the wall be two bricks and a half thick, how many 
 rods of reduced brick-work of one brick and a half does that wall 
 
 contain r 1 ^ . U 
 
 Look for g rods, the measure of the face or flat of the wall, in the 
 first column towards the left hand, and find two bricks and a half; 
 (the thickness of the wall wanted) at the head or top of the table 
 and against Q in the first column, and under two bricks and a half, at 
 the head, you will find 15, and so many (15) rods does the wal 
 contain. 
 
 4 And so by the following table you will find, that if a wall doe 
 contain upon the fiat or face 13 rods, superficial measure, if tha 
 wall be

 EXAMPLE II. 
 
 If a wall be four bricks thick, and contains 1 7 rods upon the face 
 or fiat, how many reduced rods of one and a half brick-work does jt 
 
 contain ? . 
 
 Look for 17 in the first column on the left hand, and 4 bricks 
 thick at the top, or head of the table, and against the 17 you will find 
 45 rods, 1 quarter, and 22 feet, and so much reduced work does th« 
 
 wall contain. 
 
 EXAMPLE III. 
 
 If the superficial contents on the surface of a wall contains IS 
 
 rods and three quarters, and be 4 bricks and a half thick, how man/ 
 
 rods reduced work* one brick and a halt thick, does it contain ? 
 
 Rods. qr. ft. 
 
 Look at the table as before, and you will find 13 rods 
 
 upon the fiat and four bricks and a half thick, is 33 O O 
 
 And three quarters of a rod, and four bricks and a half 
 thick, is 2 1 O 
 
 So 13f rods on the flat or surface reduced, is. ....... . 41 1 O 
 
 EXAMPLE IV. 
 
 If the superficial contents on the surface of a wall contain S rods, 
 end be nine bricks and a half thick, how much does that wall con- 
 tain reduced brick-work to the standard of one brick and a half -thick ? 
 
 Now, in this case, you cannot find nine bricks and a half at the 
 top or head of the table, so you may take twice four bricks and one 
 brick and a half, or twice four bricks and a half, and the half brick ; 
 or 3 times 3 bricks and half a brick ; or twice 3 bricks, and then 3 
 bricks and a half ; or, add others to make the thickness nine bricks 
 amd a half thick, and their contents added together is the contents 
 
 reduced. 
 
 Rods. qr. ft. 
 
 For instance : 8 rods fiat by 4 bricks, is,. 21 1 22 
 
 Do. add again for do. twice 21 1 22 
 
 One brick and a half add also to do 8 0 0 
 
 So that 8 rods, superficial on the face, at nine bricks and a 
 
 half thick, will be reduced 50 2 44 
 
 These examples, I presume, will be fully sufficient to shew the 
 
 great use of these tables, where every length and thickness may be 
 very easily ascertained, by carefully adding together where it is not 
 
 exactly set down.

 EXPLANATION 
 
 OF THE THIRD TABLE OF BRICK-WOkK. 
 
 This table shews how many bricks are sufficient to build a piece 
 1 of brick-work, containing any number of feet or thickness, from 1 foot 
 to 10,000 feet, and from half a brick thick to two bricks and a half 
 thick, and consequently, by addition only, to any thickness or number 
 of feet required, and at the rate of 4,500 bricks to a rod, at the sta- 
 tute thickness of one brick and a half, 
 
 * 
 
 EXAMPLE i. 
 
 How many bricks will build a wall 75 feet in length, 8 feet in 
 height, and one brick and a half thick ? First multiply ?5> the 
 length, by 8, the height, and the produce is 000 feet, the superficial 
 contents of the surface of tbs walk 
 
 Seek in the first column on the left hand of the table for 500 feet, 
 and for 100 feet, which added together is 600 feet, against which, 
 at 1 brick and a half at the top, you will find S,270, and 1,054, 
 which being added together is 9,924, the number of bricks required 
 at one brick and a half thick.

 EXAMPLE lio 
 
 A 
 
 How many bricks are required to build a piece of brick- work WO 
 feet long and 15 feet high, and tw r o bricks and a half thick ? Mul- 
 tiply as before, and 1,500 feet is the superficial contents ; but as the 
 exact number of feet cannot be found at once in the table, you must 
 take it at twice* Thus : 
 
 Seek in the left hand column for 1000 feet, and opposite* under 
 two bricks and a half, is 28,5gO ; then look back in the column for 
 500, the other number wanted, and opposite, under two bricks and 
 a half, is 14 , 295 , which add to the first number ; so that 1,500 feet 
 of brick-work, tv/o bricks and a half thick, takes 42,885 bricks.

 thickness of \\ brick. 
 
 N. B* A rod is 2/2 feet 3 inches, but in measuring, the odd \ r 
 or 3 inches, is not noticed, and divide by 272 only. Half a rod is 
 136 feet, and a quarterns feet. 
 
 If your wall be thicker than 2§ bricks, for instance, 3 bricks, then 
 take twice l\ brick ; for bricks thick, take the product of 2 bricks 
 and \\ brick ; and if 4 bricks thick, take twice 2 bricks thick, and so 
 in like manner for any thickness required. 
 
 EXAMPLE I. 
 
 Suppose a wall of brick -work; 50 feet long and 8 feet high, and 
 2 1, bricks thick, what is the contents thereof reduced ? First, mul- 
 tiply the length 90 feet by the height 8 feet, and the product is 400 
 feet. 
 
 Secondly, seek in the first column for 400 feet, and against it, in 
 the sixth column, under the head of 2| bricks, you will find 2, 1, 
 54, 8, which is 2 rods, 1 quarter, 54 feet, and 8 inches, the true 
 reduced contents required, 
 
 EXAMPLE II 
 
 What is the contents of a piece of brick- work, whose superficial 
 contents is 397 feet, and \ a brick thick ? 
 
 Now, as the contents, 3Q7 feet, cannot be found at one time, 
 y@is must, in this and the like case, take the number at twice or 
 thrice, or more, if required, till you have the whole number wantpd s 
 thus :

 Thus, 22,720 superficial feet of a 2 brick wail, is 1 i 1 rods, 1 quar- 
 ter, 33 feet, 4 inches, 
 
 EXAMPLE IV. 
 
 How many rods is contained in a piece of brick -work, whose su- 
 perficial contents are 1000 feet, and at 5 bricks thick. 
 
 Seek the 1000 feet in the first column, and as there is net such a 
 thickness as two bricks, take 2f bricks twice, which will be found in 
 the last column opposite the 1000 feet, and add the two together, 
 this and the sum is the contents sought.

 And so on progressively by adding two shillings per thousand to the 
 "bricks, and advancing seven shillings per rod to the work, may be found 
 any price per rod wanting. 
 
 It is scarcely worth while to give any examples in this last table, as at 
 the first look it will explain itself. 
 
 EXAMPLE. 
 
 What is the value of a rod of brick-work, at thirty-eight shillings 
 per 1000 for bricks, and three guineas per rod , mortar and labour 
 which is the lowest price now for the most ordinary work in party 
 walls, &c. and opposite to thirty-eight shillings, in the same line 
 stands 111. 14s. being 111. 14s. per rod, and at the same price for 
 bricks, and three guineas and a half for mortar and labour, stands 
 121. 4s. 6d. being 1 2.1. 4s. 6d. per rod, and at the same price for bricks* 
 and four guineas for mortar, scaffoldings and labour, is 12l. 15s. per rod. 
 
 N. B. In this last price of four guineas for mortar, scaffolding, and 
 labour, it is expected to have one hundred and a half of lime, twoloada 
 and a half of Thames sand, and the bricks laid four course to rise not 
 above eleven and half inches, and a neat fair joint and jointed. The 
 rod of brick-work in that case will take from 150 to 240 bricks more 
 than the usual allowance of 4500 . 
 
 The first column has the prices of bricks per 1000, and on the top 
 of the other three columns are three guineas per rod, three and half 
 guineas per rod, and four guineas per rod, being the different prices of 
 mortar, labour, and scaffoldings

 It is needless to proceed further with this table : the use of it is 
 1 obvious. Suppose your contents, after multiplying your length and 
 breadth together, cut off the two right hand figures ; that on the 
 left is squares, and the right cut oft are feet. For example : if your 
 two numbers multiplied together should be 620 feet, find 620 in the 
 first column under feet, and opposite is 6 squares and 20 feet : thus 
 j you must dash off 6)20, and the operation is done* If the number of 
 feet is 947, find 947 in the column under feet, and opposite you 
 have 9 squares 47 feet; and so on, 11)56 is 11 squares 56 feet. In 
 this manner, if the exact number of feet is not in the table, you must 
 find the nearest number to it, and find the rest at another part of the 
 table, and add to it : also observe, that 20 feet, if remaining, is one 
 fifth of a square; 25 feet, one quarter of a square ; 50 feet, Haifa 
 j! square ; 75 feet, three quarters of a square* 
 
 If your number of feet be six figures, cut off the two on the right 
 hand, the rest are squares ; as 1234(56, 1234 squares and 56 feet? 
 
 ; t>r half a square and 6 feet*-— Further explanation is useless*

 BUILDER S NEW PRICE-BOOlt* 
 
 TO PROPORTION CHJMNIES TO ROOMS. 
 
 In any case required, from a room of 9 Feet square to a Room of 60 
 
 Feet square. 
 
 A Room 9 feet square, will require a cliimnev 2 feer 5 ; n 
 by 3 feet high : Then, supposing th^oom to be l"fee 
 
 square, the proportion will be as 4 to 1 - that is, the width o^f the 
 
 clnmney wdl be 2 feet 6 inches, by 3 feet and | of an inch high • so 
 hat for every foot the room increases in size, must be added 1 Inch to 
 the Width of tne chimney, and | of an inch for the height. If the room 
 be 2/ feet square, tne chimney will be 3 feet 9 inches wide, by 3 feet 
 4 ~ inches nigh, and so on for any square room. ^ 
 
 Suppose a room 24 feet by 30 feet, add the length and breadth 
 together, and taae half that sum for the square of the room, beino- 30 
 feet, which chimney must be 4 feet wide, and 3 feet 5| inches hbh. 
 
 Suppose a room to be large enough to require two chimnies, I will 
 say 40 feet wide by 60 feet long 5 add the length and breadth too-ether 
 which is 100 feet ; take halt of that, which is 50 feet, and 2 chimnies' 
 of a room 50 feet square, will do for a room 60 by 40 that is 5 feet in

 TO PROPORTION WINDOWS TO ROOMS. 
 
 To give the proper Light, not too glaring nor too dark. 
 
 , Multiply the length of the room by the breadth, and that product 
 oy tne height, and out of the last product, extract the square root, which 
 root will be the proper light for the room, and must be divided into as 
 many parts as the room will admit windows. 
 
 Suppose the room to be 24 feet by 18, the product will be 432, 
 and mu tiphed by the height, 12 feet, that product will be 5184, whose

 EXPLANATION 
 
 OF THE FOREGOING TABLE. 
 
 In the first column of the table you have the breadth and thickness 
 in inches, and in the second the length (according to such breadth 
 and thickness) that will make a solid or cube foot, which is to be 
 observed throughout the whole course of the table, observing also, 
 that the figure 2 inches, which begins the table, govern th following 
 number of inches, and half inches, all the way down, and so on to 
 1 1 foot. Thus 2 inches by 2| inches, 2 by 3 2 by 3\ f 2 by 4, &c. 
 and to one foot. Then you begin with 3 inches by 3 4 3 by 4, 3 by 
 i.4f, down to ] foot $ then with 4 inches by 41 , 4 by 5, 4 by 5 |, &c. 
 and to 1 foot, and so on progressively throughout the whole table. 
 
 .EXAMPLE 1. 
 
 I 
 
 The Use of the Table.— Suppose a scantling or piece of quarter- 
 ing be 4 inches broad, and 2 inches thick, how much in length 
 thereof will make a solid or cube foot ? Look in the hist table begin- 
 ning with two inches, and a little lower in the same table is 4 inches 
 die bre dtb, and opposite in the second ct lumn you will find ? 8 feet, 
 which, according to that breadth and thickness, will make a solid or 
 cube foot. 
 
§4 [builder’s new price-book. 
 
 EXAMPLE II. 
 
 Suppose the breadth and thickness of a scantling or quartering i® 
 be 5 inches by 3, or 3 by 5, which is the same, how much in length 
 of that piece of timber must be cut off to make a cube foot ? 
 
 Look as before, in that part of the table which begins with 3 bv< 
 in the left column, then finding 5 inches the breadth below it, 
 and in the second column opposite to the 5 , you will find 9 feet 7 
 inches, and one- twelfth part of an inch in length, which will make a 
 
 cube foot. 
 
 ■ 
 
 The above examples are fully sufficient to go through the table. 
 
 The following tables of superficial or flat measure, as board, paint-? J 
 ing, glass, pavement, slating, tiling, &c. ready cast up, from one footil 
 to five in length, and from one inch and a quarter to five feet ini 
 breadth, increasing regularly only a quarter of an inch, or three parts?! 
 pf each step in breadth, will be found very convenient for measuring^ 
 of glass and the like, being more particular in taking their dimensions, ■ 
 than what several other branches commonly require $ and these small 
 dimensions are much more difficult to square than larger.

 plea 
 
 se to observe, 
 
 that this 
 
 last 
 
 table increases re- 
 
 jgularly one inch every step to 20 feet in length, which, by the help 
 of addition only, may be continued to any length and breadth re- 
 quired, and is a sufficient example to shew how to multiply feet and 
 inches, as well as it more tables were continued. The other tables 
 being only single numbers, 1 thought proper to make one table of 
 j compound figures, by way ol explanation, as the larger the dimen- 
 sion, the easier it is squared and the contents found.

N. B. By this table, if timber is 7I. 10s. per load, or 3s. per foot cube, you have 
 only to add half so much as in the table, which is 5l. per load, and half being 
 2l, 3 0s. makes 7I. 10s. which is the present price of fir timber, 1803. 
 
 Or if less than 5l. per load, you may deduct \ or 4 , or 4> and in that manner 
 add or diminish to any price, and the following table the same which is 2s. 6d. per 
 foot, or6l. 5s, per load.

Master joinee’s work, 
 
 107 
 
 Although this book is not intended to treat of mensuration, yet, 
 to accommodate my country friends, it has been hinted to me the 
 measuring round timber would be very useful ; being ever ready and 
 willing to notice any hint for improvement, and to oblige all parties, 
 have complied with the request, and in three different methods, by 
 arithmetic. J 
 
 It is customary in measuring of round timber, if a tree is regularly 
 taper from bottom to top, to girt the tree in the middle with a string 
 for a mean circumference between the two ends, then they double 
 the string four times, and take that for the girt, or one side of the 
 square, so that if a tree be 4 feet in circumference, the girt or side 
 of the square is 1 foot. But, if a tree be irregularly shaped, that is, 
 does not hold its bigness regularly, then they measure it at twice or 
 thrice, according as it falls of the gradual size, and add all the several 
 measurements together for the contents of the whole. 
 
 The dimensions being taken, you get the contents by either of 
 these rules : 
 
 First, Square the girt, that is, multiply it into itself, aftd that pro- 
 duct by the length, and divide by 144, and the quotient is the con- 
 tents. 
 
 Secondly, Multiply the square of the girt by the length, and that 
 product by .12, and divide the last product by 1728, the cubical 
 inches in a foot, and the quotient is the contents in feet. 
 
 Thirdly, By duodecimal arithmetic square the girt and multiply 
 the product by the length, and the last product is the contents. 
 
 An example wrought by all the three ways— What is the solid 
 contents of a piece of timber 16 inches girt and 8 feet long.

 CARVER’S PRICES. 
 
 This work lias been for a long time declining and out of fashion* 
 the composition being now done so neat and so cheap, to what carving 
 is, that it is come into general use, on which account I did intend en- 
 tirely to omit it ; but, at the request of some friends, I have inserted 
 a few articles, as they were charged about thirty years ago: but the 
 present charges, or for the last twelve or fifteen years, I have not been 
 able to learn, nor is it of any consequence.

 EXAMPLE. 
 
 Suppose the square or superficial contents, of any dimensions in 
 feet, be 6 q 3, how many square yards are there in that number ? 
 
 Look in the table at the top for the nearest number of feet thereto, 
 which in this case is the exact number j and in the next column of 
 figures, under the words at top square yards, and opposite to the 
 number of 69 3 feet, you will find 77> square yards, contained 
 therein. 
 
 Proof by division. Proof by multiplication.

 O 
 
 By this example you will find any number of square or superficial 
 yards, not exceeding 180 or 1620 feet, being the extent of this table 5 
 for higher numbers, by proper attention, may be easily found, by 
 doubling any two numbers in the table, or by adding two, three, or 
 more numbers together, so as to make up the number required, and 
 add the produc ts together, will give you the true contents in square 
 yards. One example will be fully sufficient : Suppose your dimen- 
 sions to be 3,460 feet, to find the square yards contained therein — 
 Seek in the table of feet for 1000, or the nearest thereto, which 
 is 1008, opposite to which is 112 yards, which number will admit 
 of three times as much, which makes 3 024 feet, and consequently 
 336 yards ; there then will want 436 feet, than seek in the table as 
 before, and the nearest to it is 432 feet and opposite is 48 yards* 
 which being; added to the 336 yards before, makes 384 yards and four 
 feet over, which may be called half a yard.

 N. B. The price of lead is very fluctuating 5 
 in the summer of 1803 , new lead gutters 
 or flats could not be laid for less than 2l. 
 and at one time 2l. 2s. per hundred, but 
 at the latter end of the year it fell to Xl. 8s. 
 per hundred* but has rose again . 
 
 The customary price for old lead now is per

 N. B. Plumbers usually cast their lead for 
 gutters, &c. from 7 to 12 pounds to the 
 foot square 5 I shall therefore insert the 
 following table, which will readily shew 
 the value of a foot square of sheet lead 
 when cast to any of the before-mentioned 
 thicknesses, by which it will be easy to 
 calculate the expence of covering any 
 place with lead any thickness, by mea- 
 suring the superficies only of the places to 
 be covered with lead, at J 8s. and 20s. the 
 hundred weight.

 N. B. It will be to little purpose to urge what common sense allows, 
 that lead pipes are cheaper or dearer in proportion to their dimen- 
 sions and thicknesses, and consequently to the price of lead, and 
 the allowance in weight that is made to every foot or yard in 
 length, as is also the soldering of the joints from a f inch bore to 
 7 inches at per joint.

 A SHORT USEFUL TABLE IN BUYING OR 
 
 SELLING LEAD. 
 
 As lead has never been above 2l. 2s. per cwt. and not likely to be so 
 again, I will begin with that price, and decrease to 14s. per cwt.

 It is needless to go lower, as old lead is seldom or ever worth less 
 than 14s. per cwt. or .lid. per lb. the then usual price for old 
 lead. 
 
 N. B. The prices of 18s. and 20s. per hundred weight for sheet 
 lead, is not intended to undervalue the present price, but to divide 
 into parts more equally to accomodate the present prices, as is now- 
 allowed, on account of the vast rise of the prices of labour and 
 materials since the year 1790 ; as well as to show what the price was 
 20 years ago*
