    And, finally, even as “Hints,” the suggestions contained in the following pages do not claim to be altogether exhaustive of the subject. A volume which should aim at real exhaustiveness might, or might not, succeed in those endeavours, but would infallibly fail of remaining in any practical sense a “handy-book.” The more reasonable require- ments of the househunter and the householder, the more ordinary ills to which house-flesh is heir, have, it is hoped, been treated pretty thoroughly. It has been no part of the design to weary the reader with floods of superfluous detail upon points which it is thousands of chances to one will never present themselves, and which, if they did so present themselves, could neither be dealt with nor even understood without professional assistance.
