Book Description
Excerpt from Handbook of Technical Terms Used in Architecture and Building and Their Allied Trades and Subjects The compilation of this work originated in the habit of jotting down "Technical Terms" met with in the course of study and practice. These terms and their definitions accumulated so enormously that the compiler was induced to extend his labours still further, so that the result would appeal to the professional man, the student, and the operative workman. At a first glance some of the terms given may probably appear superfluous, but it should be remembered that it is the aim of the compiler that the work should appeal to all classes connected with Architecture and its allied arts. Most of the works at present before the public are either not up-to-date, or else they only give the purely architectural terms, to the sacrifice of those purely practical, or vice versâ. The compiler therefore considers that no apology is necessary for placing yet another Glossary amongst those already in existence. If the result is of any aid to those in want of such assistance, then the aim of the compiler is accomplished. Among the list of works consulted in the compilation of this Glossary may be mentioned Gwilt's Encyclopædia of Architecture, Nicholson's Architectural Dictionary, Parker's Glossary, Nuttall's Dictionary, Vitruvius's Civil Architecture, and also the numerous journals issued in connection with the Building Trades.
