An improved and enlarged edition of Biddle's young carpenter's assistant : being a complete system of architecture for carpenters, joiners, and workmen in general, adapted to the style of building in the United States ; revised and corrected, with several additional articles, and forty-eight new designs, chiefly of full size, working drawings of modern finish, in detail ; particularly adapted for country use
A revised carpenters' and joiners' manual, Owen Biddle's pattern book enlarged by architect John Haviland and published in Philadelphia in 1833 for American builders working outside the cities. Line-engraved plates give full-size working drawings: mantel and doorway elevations with pilasters and rosettes, scroll brackets, molding profiles in section, geometric ceiling and panel ornament, and a church front in elevation — a stock of measured Greek Revival detail and repeating ornament.
