The work addresses the critical issue of dry rot in timber, exploring its causes, effects, and methods for prevention and treatment. It serves as a resource for builders, architects, and anyone involved in timber construction by consolidating knowledge that has historically been scattered across various sources. The opening of the treatise sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of timber, beginning with a detailed examination of its physical properties and the essential processes that govern its growth. Britton delves into the formative stages of timber, describing how its structure develops and how various elements contribute to its durability. He emphasizes the significance of understanding these properties in relation to dry rot, which is presented not merely as an agricultural or insect-related challenge but as a critical aspect of timber management that can severely impact building integrity if not effectively addressed. The preliminary chapters establish a scientific framework that underpins the subsequent discussions on the prevention and remediation of dry rot. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
