Excerpt from Carpenter's and Builder's Assistant, and Wood Worker's Guide The experience of workmen generally will testify that. Books have, as yet, furnished them but small assistance in the theory and art of construction. The object of the author in publishing this work, is to furnish them with rules for finding sections of pieces placed in any position; for cutting every description of joints; for finding the form of the raking mould at any point divergent from the straight line for springing and bending mouldings for mitering circular mouldings, and planes oblique to the base at any angle; and an easy system of building stairs and railing for straight and platform stairs. And eight plates containing steel square problems. Together with these rules, the author presents tables of the weight, and cohesive strength of the different materials used in the construction of buildings, as well as the weight required to crush said materials a treatise on the adhesion of nails, screws, iron pins and glue; and a geometrical and mathematical demonstra tion for finding the circumference, and squaring the circle. There can be but little doubt that a work of this kind is needed by Architects and Builders, and especially by Carpenters and Wood-workers, who are inexperienced in the different kinds of labor which they are called upon to perform.

Also an easy system of stair railing for straight and platform stairs, which will enable' carpenters to finish and complete a dwelling without the assistance of a professional stair builder. And to all this is added a practical and mathematical demonstra tion of finding the circumference and squaring the circle when the diameter is given.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... MATHEMATICAL DEMONSTRATION OF SQUARING THE CIRCLE. RULES i. Eleven-fourteenths ( ) of the diameter equals onefourth (i) of the circumference. 2. To find the area of the circle. Multiply the diameter by the radius, and divide the product by 7; the quotient multiplied by ii gives the area of the circle. EXAMPLE: Diameter 28X i4=392-=-7=56x ii=6i6, area of circle. 3. To find the side of a square the area of which shall be equal to the area of the circle. Divide the diameter by i4, multiply the quotient by n, add to the product one-tenth (jij) of the diameter, and annex the first figure in the quotient. EXAMPLE: Diameter 28--i4=2. Product 2xii=22. one-fourth (j) of the circum. 2.82; one-tenth (j1, ) of the diameter Side of square ) with quotient annexed..equal in area to 24.82 area of circle. ) Proof: 28X22=6i6; the square root of which is 24.8i93. Add the quotient when it consists of two or more figures. EXAMPLE: Diameter 224-4-i4=i6 Product i6x u= i76 One-fourth () of the circum. 22.4 One-tenth d'T) of the diam.

Eleven-fourteenths ( ) of the area of the circle equals the area of a square whose sides are equal to the circumference. 5. Seven-elevenths ( ) of the area of the circle equals the area of an inscribed square. 6. One-fourth () of the circumference multiplied by nine (9), the product divided by ten (10), equals the side of an inscribed square, nearly. 7. To find the diameter when the circumference is given, Multiply by seven (7) and divide by 22. 8. To find the diameter when the area of the circle is given. Divide by fourteen (14), and multiply the quotient by eleven (1 1); the...
