Some Aspects of Timber Construction

An explanation and an apology is offered by way of introduction to the present paper in
that the circumstances under which it has been writtan differed somewhat from those usually obtaining. The author had not discovered some new facts and become seized with a desire to proclaim them, but merely consented to give effect to the suggestions of the Literature Committee of the Institution that a paper on timber construction should be included in the sessional programme.
