PREFACE.
The following book has been written to assist those who wish toacquire a knowledge of the most practical and systematic methodsadopted in the execution of stair building and handrailing.
In compiling this work the author has kept steadily in viewthe absolute necessity of treating most fully the elementary parts.Therefore, if to some the details should appear tedious, he begs tosay they have been written to assist those who, being unable toobtain a correct knowledge of the methods adopted, seldom advancebeyond a certain and very unsatisfactory stage.
The plates on stairs will be found to contain much useful andvaluable information, all of which the author has practically tested,some of them many times over, and can therefore vouch for theaccuracy of the various methods shown.
The Plates 12 and 13 should be thoroughly understood beforeproceeding with the handrailing, as the diagrams showing problemsin solid geometry have been carefully selected, bearing directly onthe subject, and it should not be left until the “why” and “wherefore”has been reasoned out.
The system of handrailing is somewhat new, but the authorhas continually put it to practical test for the last five years,and he is convinced that it is only required to be known to beappreciated.
