Woodwork Course for Boys, Consisting of a Graduated Series of Thirty Models, Arranged So as to Cover the Requirements of the Science and Art Department, South Kensington [PDF ebook] 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This series of models was arranged primarily for use in the schools where the manual instruction was under my own supervision. It has been tested, and found to be a workable course. The exercises involved are those found in English Carpentry. Models 5, 6, 11, 13, 20, 26, and 28, are exercises that are not embodied in complete objects. They are good specimens of work that has actually been set at the wood-working examinations, held by the Science and Art Depart ment in Elementary Schools. The other twenty-three models are embodiments, in complete and useful objects, of these and other exercises in Carpentry. The principle followed in arranging the series has been to proceed as logically as possible from easy to more difficult work.
