Abstract
THE arts of stone-cutting and masonry, and their applications in engineering and architectural practice in the United States, are briefly treated in this book, with special reference to the making of working drawings. The information given is of a thoroughly practical nature, and the fourteen plates, containing drawings of various forms of buttresses and arches, furnish useful examples of actual masonry work. The book will be found serviceable and instructive to students of the section of engineering and architecture described in it.
