By David W. King. New York: Orange Judd Company, 1886.

This is a small octavo, 251 pages, furnishing designs and working plans for country people out of the reach of professional architects. Specifications and estimates of cost are given, with full notes on cements, mortars, and building materialsgenerally. The man who proposes to build, will find this an excellent guide; and the one who only hopes to have a nice home some day, may profitably have it in his library, to be on hand when consultation will be a blessing to him.
