Excerpt from the Preface: "In offering this Work on Carpentry to the American Carpenter and Joiner, the author desires it to be understood that the work is not intended to take the place of any of the larger and more exhaustive work on the subject; but is designed more particularly for use as a hand-book by the workman that has not had time or opportunity to thoroughly commit to memory the principles it contains, and to occupy a small corner in the workman's tool chest, so that it may be referred to for consultation whenever circumstances require it.".
