_bOr, The architect's companion. For estimating of new buildings, or repairing of old: in a concise and easy method, entirely new; and of use to gentlemen or their stewards; master-workmen, artificers, or any person that undertakes or lets out work. Wherein the several artificer's works concerned in building, and every article belonging to each of them are fully, distinctly, and separately considered; and the prices thereof inserted, not only of the workmanship, but of the materials also, and what quantity of materials are required to the performance thereof; with the manner of taking dimensions, measuring and valuing the same. Also, a new method to shew what light is proper for any room, and the proportion that the windows, chimnies, and funnels ought to have by a universal rule. To which is added, several new tables, (never before published) for the valuing of Oak, or any other timber that is squared and cut to any scantling or size fit for building. By William Salmon, Jun. of Colchester in Essex. The seventh edition. Carefully revised and corrected, with many large additions and alterations interspersed throughout the whole. By E. Hoppus, surveyor.
