The book fits perfectly into a hinged pocket in the lid of the trunk-size tool box. Many of the original planes and moulding tools are present. Asher Benjamin (1773-1845) wrote a number of books to guide 19th century craftsmen in the method and style of building. A builder, or craftsman, could also be the architect. Asher Benjamin educated three generations of architects through his writings. He adapted European architecture to American use; he used wood instead of the more expensive stone, in order to fit New England styles and budges. A very desirable work.. Quarto.
