"When we see a lot of framed timbers, different portions of which we know have been gotten out at different times and places and by different workmen, and when we see that these timbers have been joined and fitted together so that they exactly make the frame of a house or a mill, all of the lengths and proportions of the different pieces exactly adapted and fitted to their respective pieces, and not a piece too many or too few, not omitting even scaffolding, or if a single piece be lacking we can see the place in the frame exactly fitted and prepared to yet bring such piece in; in such case, we find it impossible not to believe that they all understood one another from the beginning, and all worked upon a common plan or draft drawn up before the first lick was struck."
