-------------------------------------------

Hart, John W. EXTERNAL PLUMBING WORK. A TREATISE ON LEAD WORK FOR ROOFS.

London; Scott, Greenwood & Co.: 1896.

A very detailed and informative instructional book concerning leadwork on
roofs. The author had written a companion volume on internal lead plumbing
work, but was moved to compile this volume by the dearth of material on
external leadwork. Much of the work is fairly utilitarian, such as
gutters, drips, seams, flashings and window work, but there are also
chapters on ornamental ridging, ornamental curb rolls, towers and finials,
ornamental lead work, and rain water heads. A rather uncommon book.

Hardcover. 5.5”x8.5”, vii + 271 pages, line illustrations; publisher’s
green cloth with gilt titles; covers with minor wear, inner hinge
partially cracked, a little internal soil and a few spots. [09453] $150.00
