The workman's golden rule for drawing and working the five orders in architecture. Wherein Their Pedestals, Columns, Entablatures, Imposts, and Arches, are taken from the best Examples of the Ancients, and proportioned by equal Parts, in a more concise, accurate, and easy Manner, than has been done in any Language. For the Instruction Of Apprentices and Journeymen Masons, Bricklayers, Carpenters, Joiners, Carvers, Turners, Painters, Plaisterers, Cabinet-Makers, &c. (and such Masters) who are unacquainted with so much Architecture, as is absolutely necessary for them to understand, in their respective Professions. And Others, Who desire a Just Knowledge of the Fundamental Rules of that noble Art. By B. Langley, Architect.
