The English writers who have treated upon joinery, ® r ®!Moxon, in his Mechanical Exercises, second edition, prints®1693 ; Halfpenny, in his Art of Sound Building, srn®*folio, 1725 ; Oakley, in his Magazine of Architecture, fol>®’1730 ; Price, in his British Carpenter, quarto, 1735; Hopp® 9 ’in his Builders' Repository, quarto, 1738 ; Batty Langley> 1(1 Ihis Builders’ Complete Assistant, royal octavo, 1738 ; Sain 1011 ’in his London Art of Building, third edition, small quart®;1748 ; Mr. Abraham Swan, in his Architect, folio, 1759’Pain, in almost every one of his works, particularly in TyCarpenters’ and Joiners' Repository, The British Paladf 0 'The Practical Builder, and in The Practical House C aT .penter; and the author of the Architectural Dictionary*^The New Carpenters' Guide, published in quarto, 179'’in The Carpenters ' and Joiners' Assistant, quarto, 1792 ! 1Rees’s Cyclopcedia; and in the Mechanical Exercis^'octavo, 1812. s

From these authors we shall here collect such extracts *relate to mechanical principles, or to geometrical constructi® 9 ’in the order of the above list.

Moxon treats the subject merely as a manual art. T 9following is extracted from Halfpenny’s Art of Sound jing : he seems to have been the first writer w ho consider®joinery in a geometrical point of view ; his knowledge,ever, is entirely confined to hand-railing. ^

“ To find the raking arch, or mould, for the hand-roU ^a circular pair of stairs, in such manner that it shallperpendicularly over its base, or arch of the well-hole. i,

Figure 95 .—“ First describe a circle equal to the brea®of the well-hole, whose diameter is u w ; as also anot* 1from the same centre, whose diameter is ag, to represent 1plan of the rail; and divide the circumference of the g re9 scircle into the same number of equal parts as you would l* 9steps once round the circle. ,

“ This being done, take the back, or rake, of the bra®equal to c f, in your compasses, and setting one foot in A, vVlthe other strike the arch h : also take the height of oneas A c, Figure 96, and setting one foot in b, with the otstrike the arch i; and when this is done, take the dist* 9 ^from A to A in your compasses, and setting one foot in h, v ' r *the other strike the arch k, and take the height of two st ®"^and with one foot in c, draw the arch l, to intersect the ax®**and so on.
