Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded by many as the stonemason's bible, Practical Masonry has for many years been one of the best technical stone masonry books available for both apprentices and experienced masons. Originally written in 1896 and published by Crosby Lockwood & Son of London, it met with great acclaim and the correspondence received by the author was that of thanks and praise at such a well written and concise technical book. Following the constructive feedback W R Purchase wrote a second edition in which he included three more chapters: Roman and Grecian moldings (both illustrative) and a glossary of terms. This work was then followed by further editions and by 1904 when the fifth edition was published Purchase had added further chapters including: Masonry Estimating and Quantity Surveying; Building Stones, marble and granite (including detailed lists of specific stones available) and finally Tables of Diameters, Circumferences and Areas of circles. As with many technical books that go out of print it became more difficult for people to purchase this book as the years passed. This latest edition published by Donhead Publishing will ensure that the work of W R Purchase can again reach and assist all those who study or are involved with this ancient craft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Masonry: A Guide to the Art of Stone Cutting Comprising the Construction, Setting-Out, and Working of Stairs, Circular Work, Arches, Niches, Domes, Pendentives, Vaults, Tracery Windows, Etc. Etc.; For the Use of Students, Masons, and Other Workmen Tms work has been compiled, not with the view of super seding any of the works already published dealing with the architectural or geometrical side of the stone-cutter's art, but as a means of introducing the student of Masonry to the practical work of everyday life in the workshop and on the building. It has no pretensions to instruct skilled workmen, but is intended to initiate young beginners in the craft into the rules and principles of good masonry. It is the result of many years' attentive observation and practical experience, acquired by the Author first as an Operative stone-mason, and afterwards as a foreman mason, on some of our largest public buildings. All the cases commonly met with are worked out, and, when the general principles applying to these are understood, their extension to any unusual question which may occur should not be difficult. The student is assumed, however, to have some knowledge Of geometrical drawing and projection, which indeed is indispensable. Most of the examples given are from actual work. In further explanation of his aim in compiling the volume, the Author may be allowed to cite the subjoined extract from an address delivered a couple of years ago by Mr. J. H. Morton, President of the Northern Architectural Association.* Mr. Morton said that it must be allowed that no trade could be properly learned out of the workshop.

Book excerpt: This book deals with the saga of the heroic freedom struggle in Andaman Islands. Was inalienably linked to the long and glories struggle of our revolutionary freedom movement fought on the mainland and it had deep political significance in the annals of history of freedom struggle. The penal order established in Andamans by the British after the First War of independence in 1857 was the beginning of the agonising story of political prisoners in the massive and awful jails at Viper Island and other detained barracks, where many perished due to hardships. The infamous Cellular jail, based on the concept of ?Auborn? system, i.e., the solitary confinement of the prisoners was the colossal edifice has mutely witnessed the most treacherous of inhumane atrocities borne by the political prisoners for a minor lapse. The political prisoners came to ?kalapani? from various movements during freedom struggle.
