There are very few manuals written for the plasterer, indeed, book makers, as a rule, seem to think that plasterers need no instructions; this, however, is a mistake; the art of plastering requires just as much skill and knowledge as the art of carpentry or masonry, and the field for improvement is just as extensive and as rich in results, if well cultivated, as in other and more pre tentions pursuits.
