Hoppus, E.

The gentleman's and builder's repository, or, architecture display'd : Containing the most useful and requisite problems in geometry. As also the most easy, expeditious, and correct methods for attaining the knowledge of the five orders of architecture, by equal parts, and fewer divisions, than any thing hitherto published. Together with all such rules for arches, doors, windows, ceiling-pieces, chimney-pieces, and their particular embellishments, as can be required. Likewise, a large variety of designs for truss roofs; with the method of finding the hip, either square or bevel. Also the most certain and approved methods of forming a number of different stair-cases, with their twisted rails, &c. The whole embellished, not only with ninety plates, in quarto, but such variety of ceiling-pieces, shields, compartments, and other curious and uncommon decorations, as must needs render it acceptable to all gentlemen, artificers, and others, who delight in, or practice, the art of building / the designs regulated and drawn by E. Hoppus, surveyor, and engraved by B. Cole.

The fourth edition, carefully revised and re-examined from the press; with the addition of Chinese architecture, being new designs for paling of different kinds, common fences, garden-paling, both close and open, stiles, parks, staircases, windows, galleries, &c. and a complete table of contents, alphabetically digested.
