Mr. LIVERMORE: DEAR SIR,--I have deemed the "Carpenters Assistant and Rural Architect," by Messrs. Brown and Joy, published by you, as one of the most valuable guides and books of reference in my library, and take an early opportunity to congratulate you on the appearance of a _new and improved edition_ of the work, which I have just purchased. The Lithographic Plates, comprising designs for church edifices, adds in my opinion a striking feature to the book, and I have no hesitation in averring that it will be sought for by every Architect, Builder, and Carpenter in our country, who wishes to possess the most concise and practical treatise published. Respectfully yours, SAMUEL PHILLIPS, Architect and Builder, Boston. _From Practical Carpenters and Architects._ We, the undersigned citizens of Worcester, Mass., practical carpenters, are personally acquainted with William Brown, Esq., Architect, and author of a work, entitled the "_Carpenter's Assistant and Rural Architect_." We have examined that work with attention, and commend it to all who are interested in the study or practice of the art, as a valuable treatise on architecture, and it is eminently practical in its character. We cheerfully recommend it to the patronage of carpenters and the public. EDWARD LAMB, FREEMAN UPHAM, P. W. TAFT, J. S. WOODWORTH, M. H. MORSE, S. D. HARDING, W. R. BIGELOW, HORATIO N. TOWER. I have carefully examined the "Carpenter's Assistant and Rural Architect," and believe it to be a work well adapted to meet the wants of the practical workman, being practical in its character, and valuable for the perspicuity of its arrangement, clearness of its designs, and brevity of its explanations. I would most cheerfully recommend it to the patronage of carpenters and students.
