This edition, the fifth, expanded version, was written by William R. Purchase in 1904 and continues to be seen as a cornerstone text in the world of masonry. It includes chapters on practical methods of masonry, a collection of chapters on the supplementary matter, and a glossary of terms.

Chapters in this volume include:
    Tools and Appliances
    Arches and Joints
    Masonry Details
    Staircases
    Cylindrical Vaulting
    Tracery Windows
    Gothic Mouldings

Although intended for the apprentice stonemason, Purchase's classic training guide will appeal to those looking to broaden their masonry knowledge as well as experienced masons who are after information on the technical methods of this ancient craft.
