This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Thebuilder, however, does the next best thing; he builds a brick dust-hole close under the kitchen window, and in a line beneath the dining-room window. Of the materials of which the house is built, as...
