Fourth edition, revised and enlarged. In a note on page iv, Shaw states that "the rapid and extensive sales of the two former editions of this work have encouraged the author to prepare a third. He has carefully revised this edition, and added three new plates, viz: Plate 64 on Imposts, and Plates 71 and 72 on cornices.he has not, as will be seen by a careful perusal, filled this work with useless pictures and essays of unmeaning matter, more for show than utility." This edition contains "RULES OF WORK, ORIGINALLY ADOPTED BY THE CARPENTERS OF THE TOWN OF BOSTON, IN 1774: REVISED IN 1800." (pp.[199]-208) in the final leaves. With the pencil ownership inscription of Hartford, Connecticut, architect, William T. Marchant (designer of the Wood Memorial Library in South Windsor [1926]), on the front pastedown. HITCHCOCK 1147. Contemporary calf, neatly rebacked with contemporary gilt label. Titlepage and several other text leaves browned, but overall a very good copy.
