Excerpt from Handbook of Technical Terms Used in Architecture and Building and Their Allied Trades and Subjects
The compilation of this work originated in the habit of jotting down Technical Terms met with in the course of study and practice. These terms and their definitions accumulated so enormously that the compiler was induced to extend his labours still further, so that the result would appeal to the professional man, the student, and the operative workman.
At a first glance some of the terms given may probably appear superfluous, but it should be remembered that it is the aim of the compiler that the work should appeal to all classes connected with Architecture and its allied arts.
