Circa 1872, The new guide to masonry bricklaying and plasterwork theoretical and practical by Robert Scott Burn is an important book on the subject. Typical of books of it's era it is a thorough examination of the masonry arts  with valuable information on the requisite skills . Books such as these are invaluable in keeping the craft alive.  (No particle board, dry wall and synthetic composite here!!)   Just the hard facts on masonry construction. A must for architect, stone mason, plasterer,  bricklayer and renovator of old buildings.

It is a pleasure to offer this book for sale.
