Excerpt from Specifications: A Practical System for Writing Specifications for Buildings
I would not wish to be understood as recommending all the methods of construction described - many have been inserted solely because they are in use. In some localities; neither do I make any particular claim to originality in the matter contained. Material has been collected from many sources, but I entertain the hope that I have, perhaps, compiled a work which will make specification writing more sure and systematic and less arduous.
