The rudiments of practical bricklaying : in six sections : general principles of bricklaying, arch drawing, cutting, and setting, different kinds of pointing, paving, tiling, materials, slating, and plastering, practical geometry, mensuration, etc.
A Victorian bricklaying manual by Adam Hammond, published in London by C. Lockwood in 1882 for trade apprentices and builders, covering bricklaying, arches, pointing, paving, tiling, slating, plastering and practical geometry. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of geometric constructions, arcs, and circles with lettered points, offering a designer clean technical linework and compass-drawn forms to borrow.
