Hardcover. Condition: Good. The full title reads: The Practical House Carpenter: Being a complete development of the Grecian orders of Architecture, methodised and arranged in such a simple, plain, and comprehensive manner, as to be easily understood; each example being fashioned to the Style and Practice of the Present Day; containing one example of the Tuscan Order, three examples of the Doric Orders, three examples of the Ionic Order, one example of the Corinthian Order, and one example of the Composite Order, with all their details drawn to a large scale: to which are added a series of designs for Porticos, Frontispieces, Doors, Windows, Caps and Sills, Sash-frames, Sashes and Shutters, Base and Sur-base Mouldings, Architraves, Chimney-pieces, Trusses for Roofs and Partitions, Stairs, &c., engraved on sixty four large quarto copper plates. Fourth edition. Hardcover. Bound in full leather. Top half of the spine is missing. Leather is worn and scuffed, but binding is tight. 118 pages + plates. Plates 16 is bound in twice and plate 17 is missing. This seems to be a 175 year old binding errors, not a missing piece. Book measures 9.25 x 11 inches. There is some foxing and some moisture blooms, in the margin at the top (very faint, through most of the book) and at the bottom outside corner (a tone or two darker, affecting the second half of the book). These darker semi-circles do affect the plates, as well as the text pages. Please email with questions or to request photos -- foxing and stains are quite normal for this book. A scarce American builder's guide, with the full suite of copper plates.

First Edition
First edition. 8vo. 28 engraved plates. viii, [9]-232 pp. Publisher's cloth rebacked in roan; covers rubbed and stained, occasional light foxing First edition of Benjamin's final work, which Hitchcock notes was his least popular work and only appeared in two editions. Perhaps for that reason it is also one of Benjamin's scarcest titles. Of note is the section on the theory of carpentry, including "36 experiments made on various kinds of American timber; experiments made in various ways of European timber by European artists; and on the strength of iron, steel, copper, brass, tin, lead, stone, bricks, cement, etc."PROVENANCE: William Reese (book-label, purchased from Charles Wood)REFERENCE: Hitchcock 115.

First edition. 4to. 64 copperplate engravings. viii, [9]-119, [1] pp. Contemporary sheep, red morocco spine label; binding scuffed, front cover holding by one cord, heavy toning to front matter, front and rear free endpapers loose, usual foxing and browning The first edition of Benjamin s "fourth and most popular work" (Hitchcock, who lists 17 editions from 1830 to c. 1856). The title may be an homage or borrowing from British architect William Pain s 1789 work of the same name, a book that Benjamin consulted early in his career and used as a model for the plates in his first book, The Country Builder s Assistant. The Practical House Carpenter marks Asher s adoption of the Greek over the Roman school in reaction to the emerging Greek revival trend. "Since my last publication, the Roman school of architecture has been entirely changed for the Grecian" (Preface). Many of the plates illustrating the orders are derived from surviving Classical examples. With a glossary of architectural terms.PROVENANCE: John Davenport, No. 60 Milk Street (inscriptions on pastedowns); William Reese (book-label, purchased from J & J Hanrahan)REFERENCE: Hitchcock 117.

First Edition
First edition. 4to. 60 engraved plates (plate 55 bound out-of-order). vii, [1], [9]-116 pp. Contemporary speckled sheep, red morocco spine label; spine darkened, foxing throughout as usual First edition of Asher Benjamin's fifth book, after his full embrace of the Greek Revival. The plates illustrate the Greek orders in close detail, as well as frontispieces, porticoes, door, windows, cornices, stairs and various elements of carpentry and construction, and concludes with a complete plan of a church. Plate VII illustrates an order of Benjamin's invention that does not conform to any existing classical model, reasoning that "more than one half of all the columns and entablatures erected in country situations, for either internal or external finishings, belong neither to the Grecian nor Roman system."
