Excerpt from Masonry: An Elementary Text-Book for Students in Trade Schools and Apprentices This book, has been written with the object of giving the greatest amount of information to the practical student, whilst keeping in view the requirements of the City and Guilds Examining Authorities. Examples of Stereotomy have been added, with the hope that they will prove of service to all engaged in the craft, either as draughtsmen or craftsmen. The Author hopes at a later date to extend the scope of the work to include marble masonry and interior decoration, together with more advanced examples in stereotomy and the Statics of Construction. It is assumed that the reader has some knowledge of practical geometry and mathematics; but the examples are described and illustrated as clearly as possible, to enable the reader who has not this knowledge to follow the method of working. The Author, who is a practical mason, has had many years experience in Building work, and has taught the subject of Masonry at several of our London Polytechnics. He wishes to express his thanks to Mr. H. W. Richards, Principal L.C.C. School of Building, Brixton, his earliest teacher, who imbued him with that quest after information, without which this book would not have been attempted. To Mr. E. Burlington for his kindly criticisms and valuable suggestions, and also for his overlooking the final proofs and arrangement of the index. The City and Guilds of London Institute for their permission to reprint the examination papers, and the publishers for their suggestions and assistance.
