Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on the Erection of Dwelling-Houses: Illustrated by a Perspective View, Plans, Elevations, and Sections of a Pair of Semi-Detached Villas, With the Specification, Quantities, and Estimates and Every Requisite Detail, in Sequence, for Their Construction and Finishing In our professional practice we have frequently been applied to for a treatise on Building, to which the young student in Architecture, as well as in Building, might refer and see, in an erection of simplicity or splendour, the necessity of studying all the details essential for such erection. In the office of the Architect, it frequently occurs that Buildings, from the variableness of practice, are only taken in detached parts as the work proceeds; and in the workshop of the Bulkier (where they have drawings and specifications to work from), the workman, or pupil, is seldom allowed to see them, but takes his instructions from the foreman for the portion of work to be executed; consequently he has little opportunity of acquiring the combined information requisite for the artisan in the building department to possess. Under such considerations the present work was projected by Mr. Weale, the publisher of the rudimentary works on the Arts and Sciences.
