greater probability, to have represented the horns of the Amuionmn

Wedge. The wedge is a solid piece of wood or metal, generally made
in the form of a triangle prism, of which the two ends or bases are eqiml
and similar plane triangles and the three sides rectangular parallelo-
grams: and it is called rectangular, isosceles, or scalene, according as its
equal and similar bases are composed of right-angled, isosceles, or sca-
lene triangles. As a mechanical power, the wedge performs its office,
sometimes in raising heavy bodies, but more frequently in dividing or
cleaving them; hence all those instruments which are used in separating
the parts of bodies, such as axes, adzes, knives, swords, coulters,
chisels, planes, saws, files, nails, spades, etc., are only different modifi-
cations that fall under the general denomination of the wedge.
Wedging. The insertion of triangular prisms into the end of a tenon,
to make it till the mortise so completely as to prevent its being with-
drawn.
Well. The place occupied by the flight of stairs. The space left be-
yond the ends of the steps is called the well-hole.
Well-Staircase. A winding staircase of ascent, or descent, to differ-
ent parts of a building, so called from the walls enclosing it resembling
a well; called frequently a geometrical staircase.
Winders. Stairs, steps not parallel to each other.
The winders are supported by rough pieces called bearers, wedged
into the wall, and secured to the strings.
When the front string is ornamented with brackets, it is called a
bracketed stair.

This is the only work on THE STEEL SQUARE AND ITS USES ever
published. It is Thorough, Exhaustive, Clear, aucl Easily Understood.

where possible, and everything in the book has been made so plain that
a boy twelve years of age, possessing ordinary intelligence, can under-
stand it from end to end.
The New Edition is Illustrated with over Seventy-five Wood cuts,
showing how the Square may be used for solving almost every problem
in the whole Art of Carpentry.
The following synopsis of the contents of the work will give some
idea of its character and scope.

tion, with Explanations of the Rules, Fig-
ures, Scales, and Divisions shown on good

OPINIONS OF THE PRKSS.
This little work consists of a republication of some papers contributed by its talented
author some time ago to the A ineruau BmUer, and which were received with so much
favor by anisans, for whom they were written, as to induce their author to collect them
into the present volume." * * "The work is well illustrated by
upwards of fifty cuts which have been well engraved, and can hardly fail to gixe any
one an idea of the capabilities of the steel square, and what can be accomplished from
it when in skilful hands." Journal of Franklin Institute, I'hiui.
" A most valuable little treatise of 70 pages upon that commonplace subject, the
'steel square,' being a description of that useful tool, and its uses in obtaining the lengths
and bevels of rafters, hips, groins, braces, brackets, purlins, collar beams and jack i afters,
and its application in obtaining the bevels and cut* forhoppers, spring moldings, octa-
gons, stairs, diminished stiles, etc. , illustrated by over 50 wood cuts. Mr. Hodgson has
succeeded admirably in demonstrating that the study of the value and use of the
square is by no means the dry subject one would suppose, and that as a tool in the
hands of an intelligent workm.in, its possibilities are far beyond the standard usually
concetk-d to il. Itis a valuable book for theuseof the carpenter, and should be upon
the office dskof every retailer of lumber, from the valuable hints it will give him as a
guide to his negotiations with his customers in figuring out their wants. It is, in fact,
uell adapted to the wants of every man who has a shed or fence to erect upon his
premises, or who wishes to keep a check upon his builder." Xcirth-svtstern Lumber-
man, Chicago, fit.
"This is a little book that no carpenter, joiner, cabinetmaker, or amateur wood-
worker, can do without, if they wish to keep up with the times in their several branches
ul" trade.
" We believe this is the first and only book that has been written on this subject
:dGne, and we must say, that the duty of writing it fell into good hands as he author
has handled his subject in a masterly manner. One is struck with astonishment at the
number of difficult and apparently intricate problems this simple instrument the square
is made to solve, and in such a manner that any mechanic who can read the figures .m thr
lool can work out the solutions. The lengths and bevels of rafters, hips, braces,
trusses purlins, collar beams, and jack rafters are obtained as if by magic, and without
thought or calculation.
" The work R handsomely gotten up, printed on heavy white paper, substantially
bound, and cleanly turned out. The some fifty odd wood cuts are almost equal to steel
engravings, and the whole get-up is a credit to both author and publisher, and the IM
price at which it is sold, (75 cents), places it within reach of every w.xxl u -rkcr. nu
matter how poor he may be." Enterprise, Collingwood, Out.
" It is a timely book on the subjectm hand, and we can safely recommend it I
petent to fill a long felt vacancy in the mechanics' library. The work present', a valu-
able collection of rules and data connected with the framing square, to the *!
roofing problems, br.,ces, hoppers, etc.,ac."OriMa Packet, Ont.
" Some fifty engravings aid in the description of the square and its uses in obtaining
lengths and bevels of all kinds; also, its application in obtaining the beveta and cut*
for all conceivable shapes used in the wood shops. Any wood-worker poMewnr thw
book will find its cost, seventy-five cents, is not to be compared with us real vaL. M.J
usefulness in the shop." The Carriage Monthly, Fhila.
" The work is a very valuable one, and should be in the haods of every
Messenger, Collingtvood, Ont.
"The work will be of very great service to carpenters and builders "
