Excerpt from A Home for All: Or the Gravel Wall and Octagon Mode of Building

To cheapen and improve human homes, and especially to bring comfortable dwellings within the reach of the poorer classes, is the object of this volume - an object of the highest practical utility to man. It delineates a new mode of inclosing public edifices and private residences, far better, every way, and several hundred percent, cheaper, than any other; and will enable the poor but ingenious man to erect a comfortable dwelling at a trifling cost, and almost without the aid or cost, as now, of mechanics. Except in a single particular, and this he has greatly improved, this mode is the invention of its author, and occurred thus. Till past forty, his profession engrossed too much of his time and means to allow him to procure a comfortable home; yet for ten years he has been making observations, in all his professional peregrinations, and cogitating by months, upon the best mode of building the home of his future years. These have at length brought him to results, now reduced to practice. Let no one suppose that he has forsaken, or even turned aside from, Phrenology - that first and only occupation of his enthusiastic youth, and the idol of his matured and declining years. He has turned aside only to build him a good home, and in doing so, has made and learned improvements to adopt which will greatly increase home comforts; and this work is written to propagate them, rather than as a complete architectural production. As its author is a phrenologist, not a builder, it may lack occasional details and specification yet will give every thing peculiar to this mode of building. Specifications respecting doors, floors, windows, etc., common to this and other modes of building, can be learned from scientific works on this subject.

The octagon form and the Gravel wall are its two distinct characteristics.
