The gentleman's and builder's repository: or, Architecture display'd. [electronic resource] : Containing the most useful and requisite problems in geometry. As also, the most easy, expeditious, and correct methods for attaining the knowledge of the five orders of architecture, by equal parts, and fewer divisions, than any thing hitherto published. Together with all such rules for arches, doors, windows cieling-pieces, chimney-pieces, and their particular embellishments, as can be required. Likewise, a large variety of designs for truss roofs; with the method of finding the hip, either square or bevel. Also, the most certain and approved methods of forming a number of different stair-cases, with their twisted rails, &c. The whole embellished, not only with fourscore plates, in quarto, but such variety of cieling-pieces, shields, compartments, and other curious and uncommon decorations, as must needs render it acceptable to all gentlemen, artificers, and others, who delight in, or practice, the art of building. The designs regulated and drawn by E. Hoppus, and engraved by B. Cole.
