“It is no disparagement to the many excellent publications we
refer to, to say that in our opinion this little pocket-book of
Hurst’s is the very best of them all, without any exception. It
would be useless to attempt a recapitulation of the contents,
for it appears to contain almost _everything_ that anyone
connected with building could require, and, best of all, made
up in a compact form for carrying in the pocket, measuring
only 5 in. by 3 in., and about ¾ in. thick, in a limp cover.
We congratulate the author on the success of his laborious
and practically compiled little book, which has received
unqualified and deserved praise from every professional person
to whom we have shown it.”—_The Dublin Builder._
