Dry-rot; Wood -- Preservation

Formulæ and Tables for the Strength of Materials, Roofs,
    Water Supply, Drainage, Gas, and other matters useful to
    Architects and Builders--Information connected with Sanitary
    Engineering--Memoranda on the several Trades used in
    Building, including a Description of Materials and Analyses
    for Prices of Builders’ Work--The Practice of Builders’
    Measurement--Mensuration and the Division of Land--Tables of
    the Weights of Iron and other Building Materials--Constants
    of Labour--Valuation of Property--Summary of the Practice in
    Dilapidations--Scale of Professional Charges for Architects and
    Surveyors--Tables of English and French Weights and Measures.

    “It is no disparagement to the many excellent publications we
    refer to, to say that in our opinion this little pocket-book of
    Hurst’s is the very best of them all, without any exception. It
    would be useless to attempt a recapitulation of the contents, for
    it appears to contain almost _everything_ that anyone connected
    with building could require, and, best of all, made up in a
    compact form for carrying in the pocket, measuring only 5 in. by
    3 in., and about ¾ in. thick, in a limp cover. We congratulate
    the author on the success of his laborious and practically
    compiled little book, which has received unqualified and deserved
    praise from every professional person to whom we have shown
    it.”--_The Dublin Builder._
