And carrying away the rubbish to be paid for extra.
Walls on a circular plan are worth 58 per rod more than the same sort of
walling straight.
Brick drains, the bricks laid in mortar, at per foot reduced brick rate
Grates or kitchen ranges, faced with grey stocks, are worth, per foot reduced
Ovens and coppers are generally measured as solid, only deducting the ash-holes.
This kind of work is often taken in cube feet; and to reduce these cube feet
to the standard of one brick and a half, multiplying the number of cube feet
found by 8, and divide that product by 9, and the quotient will be the number
of feet reduced.
Example.
Suppose a wall to be 20 feet long, 10 feet high, and 4 bricks thick: this
wall will contain 533 feet 1-3d of foot, reduced to a brick and a half; and
in this wall are contained 600 cube feet, which, multiplied by 8, and that
product divided by 9, will give the content 533 feet 1-3d a foot.
20 feet, length of the wall.
10 feet, height of the wall.
200 area, or superficial content of the face.
3 feet, the thickness of the wall.
600 multiplied by 8.

Note. The body part of niches on a circular plan, are worth 2s 6d per foot
superficial. Elliptical bodies are worth 3s per foot superficial. The heads
of circular inches are worth 4s 6d per foot superficial: about 12 bricks
will be sufficient for a superficial foot. Face arches to the niches, 4s
per foot superficial.
Labour only, to old brick-work to be taken down, and the old bricks to be
used in the building again, is worth, per rod, from 26s to
