Summary
"This volume reprints three rare American joiners' price books. All three originated in Portland. The first is a unique manuscript from the Colonial Period ... containing carpenters' rules of work of 1760. The others are facsimile reproductions of two editions of the Housewrights' rules of work for the town of Portland which were published after the American Revolution in 1805 and 1819"--Introduction
