“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_.
