All these last may be ploughed, rebated, and feather-tongued. The floors of inlaid or parquetry work must form, when to be provided, special sub jects of specification; they must be described according to drawings, on which are to be marked the different woods to be used in their formation. The varieties of skirtings are classed as under, beginning with the commonest sort :-inch deal square skirting. -inch deal square skirting. -inch deal torus skirting. i-inch deal square skirting. 1-inch deal square skirting, rebated and backed plinth, with fillet nailed to floor. 1-inch deal torus skirting. 14-inch deal square skirting. 14-inch deal torus skirting. 11-inch deal torus skirting, rebated and backed plinth, with fillet nailed to floor. If any of these, as to stairs for instance, are raking, and to be scribed to steps, they must be so described, and so if any of them are to be ramped, and similarly if they are to be scribed to moulded nosings, as also if they be circular on the plan. Dados in their varieties are as follow, premising that they are nailed to grounds which should be mentioned. Scribed to steps, circular on plan, and wreathed, or ramped: those matters must be mentioned. Of wainscotting with fascia and skirting, the different kinds are subjoined in the order of their quality. 1-inch deal, square framed 1-inch deal, square framed dwarf 1-inch deal, square framed 14-inch deal, square framed, dwarf 1-inch deal, bead butt or moulded 1-inch deal, bead flush The number of panels high to be specified. When any of these are raking, or to have a beaded or moulded capping, or both or either, such must be specified. Partitions of deal for the division of rooms are only used in taverns and the like; but where they are wanted, as for a mere separation in servants' rooms, they may be em ployed. Their varieties are — 1-inch deal board, and braced with 4-inch panels. 14-inch deal, rough, and ledged edges shot. 14-inch deal, wrought both sides, and ploughed. These are scarcely to be employed. 14-inch deal, wrought both sides, tongued, and beaded. 14-inch, square framed. 1-inch, square framed. 14-inch, bead butt, moulded and square. 14-inch, bead flush and square. 14-inch, moulded on both sides. 2-inch, square framed. 2-inch, bead butt or moulded and square. 2-inch, bead flush and square. 2-inch, moulded on both sides. 2-inch, moulded and bead flush. 2-inch, bead flush and bead butt. 2-inch, bead flush on both sides. These, as well as any preceding and following parts of a specification, will, of course, have reference to what is wanted in the design which it is the architect's object to describe in such specification. Grounds. We have mentioned grounds generally (2166.); but it may be as well here to insert their several sorts: for instance, Those of inch deal, of 1-inch deal, of 1-inch deal, of 14-inch deal, and whether circular; also 1-inch, 1-inch, and 14-inch skeleton grounds, which it is, perhaps, for security against extras, as well to repeat. Door cases are usually employed on basement stories, and should be of oak, though fir is constantly used for them. They fit into the brickwork, and are usually about 5 by 5 inches, and they should be tenoned (the tenon being well pitched or set in white lead) into the stone step, on which they ought to be placed; for the sill, into which it is the practice to place them, soon rots, however good the material. Door linings and their sofites. These are either plain or framed, the former being of the commoner sort, and the latter for better work and places. They may be enumerated as follow: 1-inch deal, single rebated. 1-inch deal, double rebated (that is, so that the door may hang on either side). 14-inch deal, single rebated. 1-inch deal, double rebated. 1-inch deal, single rebated. 14-inch deal, double rebated. Either of the foregoing, if to be beaded on the edge, must be so described. Of framed linings and sofites for doors there are 14-inch, square framed in one panel and double rebated. 14-inch, square framed in one panel and double rebated, bead butt or moulded. 11-inch, square framed in one panel and double rebated, bead flush. 1-inch, square framed in one panel and double rebated. 14-inch, square framed in one panel and double rebated, bead butt, or moulded. 1inch, square framed in one panel and double rebated, bead flush. If the panels in the linings are to be raised, to correspond with panels of doors, they must be so described. CARPENTER AND JOINER. (2285d ) Framed back linings are as follow: :1-inch deal, two panel square. 1-inch deal, two panel square, bead butt. 1-inch deal, three panel square, bead butt. 1-inch deal, four panel square. 1-inch deal, four panel square, bead butt.

Backs, elbows, and sofites to windows are described as — 1-inch deal, keyed. 1-inch deal, keyed, framed square. 11-inch deal, framed square. 14-inch deal, framed square, moulded, or bead butt. 1-inch deal, framed square, bead flush. 14-inch deal, square framed sofite, with one edge circular. 1-inch deal, framed square, moulded, or bead butt. Applicable to bay windows. If any of these are splayed, fancy moulded, and with cappings, when also they are circular on the plan, they must be so particularly specified, inasmuch as the price is thereby enhanced. Boxings for shutters are of the following varieties: 1-inch deal, splayed boxings. 1-inch deal, proper boxings. 11-inch deal, splayed boxings. 1-inch deal, proper boxings. 14-inch deal, boxings with circular head. 1-inch deal, boxings for sliding shutters, with pulley pieces, beads, fillets, and grooves, complete. 11-inch deal, boxings for sliding shutters, with pulley pieces, beads, fillets, and grooves, complete.

These may be described of 11-inch deal; but the back flaps need not be more than one inch, and the additional panels in height, projecting mouldings, if any, and other variations from the general description, must be mentioned. Sliding shutters are to be described in their varieties, as follow: — 1-inch deal, two panels square, hung with lines and weights. 1-inch deal, two panels square, hung with lines and weights. 11-inch deal, bead butt and square, hung with lines and weights. 1-inch deal, bead flush and square, hung with lines and weights. 14-inch deal, bead butt and moulded, hung with lines and weights. 14-inch deal, bead flush and bead butt, hung with lines and weights. These, if of 1-inch deal, and if more panels in height, must be so described; so also if they are circular on the plan; and if patent lines are to be used for the hanging, they must be mentioned. Outside shutters, now rarely used, even in the provinces, except for shop fronts, must be mentioned, to make our description complete; they are of 14-inch deal, three panels, bead butt and square. 1-inch deal, three panels bead flush and square. } CARPENTER AND JOINER. (2285e) 1-inch deal, three panels, bead flush and bead butt. If these are circular on the plan, or contain more than three panels in height, the specification must so state. Staircases are described as under, beginning with the commonest. 1-inch yellow deal, steps, risers, and carriages. 14-inch deal, steps, inch risers, and carriage. 1-inch deal, steps and risers glued up and blocked to close string moulded nosings, and two fir carriages. 14-inch deal, steps and risers mitred to cut string, and dovetailed to balusters. 1-inch deal, steps to winders, mitred to cut string, and dovetailed to balusters, one end circular. 1-inch deal, steps to winders, mitred to cut string, and dovetailed to balusters, both ends circular.

CARPENTER AND JOINER. (2285ƒ.) Turned balusters according to drawing, when necessary. Planceer rounded on both edges, or moulded, as the case may be. Fix all iron balusters and stays. Sash frames are of great variety, whereof the following is a list : Deal cased frame for 14-inch sashes, oak sunk sill with brass pulleys for single hanging. Ditto, for double hanging. Ditto, ditto, with circular head. Ditto, circular on plan (and with circular head, when required). Deal cased frames for 2-inch sashes, oak sunk sills with brass pulleys prepared for single hanging.

It is usual to describe with these the hanging, which is commonly with 4-inch iron or brass butt hinges, and the species of fastening which it is common to place, at a sum varying from five to twenty shillings. When the turning Espaniolette fastenings are used, they must be particularly specified. Shop-window sashes vary so much that we shall merely observe of their thicknesses, they are from 1 to 2 inches, and in the present extravagant rage for novelty among tradesmen, there is no end to the forms of their horizontal sections; nothing, however outré, would be considered too extravagant for these people, and all that we can do is to say that, after describing their thickness, they are to be executed according to the drawings.
