"The Building Estimator," of which the present book is an outgrowth, had only 150 pages, and an Index of two; this edition contains 732 pages and an Index of seventeen. In such a large work as this now is. a good Index is of great value, and it is suggested that it be frequently consulted.

The belief is that the increase in value has more than kept pace with the bulk. An endeavor to keep down the thickness has been made by using a thinner paper than In former editions.

The field of building is always expanding, and the author and publishers try to keep the "New Building Estimator" abreast of every progressive development. Therefore, in addition to the main part of the book dealing with the standard construction, there are detailed figures on reinforced concrete, and many chapters on Square, Cubic Foot, and Comparative Costs, on Physical Valuation, and Depreciation that serve alike for architects, contractors, insurance and other appraisers, and railroad engineers. Many states have already valued their railroads, and the same work has been recommended by high authority for the nation at large, while all the buildings of great cities like Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Paul, Denver, etc., have been assessed on a square foot basis. The figures are here put In compact form for the use of all.

The ordinary tabulated matter is given, but there are also special tables for quick calculation, Including a series for estimating plaster. An hourly Wage Table has been prepared for this edition in order to save weekly calculations. The ordinary wage table is of no use to builders who pay by the hour only.

The book has from the first been received with favor by the trade press, by architects, railroad engineers, contractors, appraisers, assessors, students, and others.
