Excerpt from The London Building Act, 1894: A Text-Book for the Use of Architects, Surveyors, Builders, Etc "The London Building Act," which comes into force on the 1st January 1895, supersedes the Metropolitan Building Acts, and renders obsolete my book on the subject. My Publisher has therefore desired me to prepare this book on the new Act. I have tried to make it the text-book on the subject, by following the same methods that I have pursued mall my former works. I specially commend to my reader's notice: First, the Abstract of that portion of the Act which relates to Building, which will enable those designing buildings, builders, and all those in difficulty, to see at once what they must do to comply with the Act. If wishing to read the exact words at length in the Act itself, they will see that the Sections and Sub-sections are given which will enable them to do so. Second, the coloured Plates Nos. 1 to 12, showing the thicknesses of all the walls, and enabling the reader at a glance to see the thickness of the wall required for any building under this Act. Note. - This is even more necessary than before, because in this Act the thicknesses are not set out in any Schedule.
