Excerpt from Specifications for Practical Architecture: A Guide to the Architect, Engineer, Surveyor, and Builder, With an Essay on the Structure and Science of Modern Buildings
A volume of Specifications of a practical character being greatly required, and the old standard work of Alfred Bartholomew being out of print, I have taken his work as my basis, and have struck out and altered the preliminary matter, so as to make it more adapted to modern science and requirements.
The Specifications I have so altered as to bring in the now universal use of concrete, the more general use of drainage, the use of iron, glass, asphalte, and other material.
Where it has seemed to me to be necessary, I have inserted Specifications of works that have been erected in my own practice, and I have added a form for General Conditions and an Agreement.
