To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
401. Barracks, particularly if standing below higher ground, should be protected from water by trenches deeper than the foundation wall, filled with loose stone to form blind drains, from which the collected water must be led to some lower point for escape. 402. Foundation walls should be laid in mortar of cement and sand and be smooth on both faces. If not drained on the exterior, the outer space should be filled with gravel, which will conduct rain-water flowing down without the wall into the... soil if porous. But if the soil be clayey or springy, the bottom of the wall must be drained, and it is better to have drains lower than the walls in all cases. 403. Cellar walls that are laid dry, or slightly pointed on the inside, have their stonework dislo- cated by freezing, with risk of the water passing through. Where sandstone, soft limestone, or brick is used, the outside of the wall should also be coated with melted coal-tar, and a damp-proof course be carefully introduced to check moisture rising by capillary attraction.
