Detailed information as to the strength of different kinds of stone and iron is given in the course of the text, under the proper headings. I have, throughout the book, adhered to a systematic arrange ment as far as was practicable, and have only departed from it in a few instances, when it became necessary to introduce questions that had arisen, or facts that had been ascertained, after the completion of the part of the work to which they properly belonged. In drawing up the table of contents and the alphabetical index care has been taken to show where such detached pieces of information are to be found.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Engineer's Pocket-Book Bould experts in engineering complain that they do not find anything of interest in this volume, the writer would merely remind them that it was not his intention that they should. The book has been prepared for young members of the profession and one Of the leading Objects has been to elucidate, in plain English, a few important elementary principles which the savants have envel Oped in such a haze of mystery as to render pursuit hopeless to any but a confirmed mathematician. Comparatively few engineers are good mathematicians; and in the writer's opinion, it is fortunate that such is the case; for nature rarely combines high mathematical talent, with that practical tact, and observation of outward things, so essential to a successful engineer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Civil Engineering A good water supply is also of great value to the manufacturing interests of a town. Many establishments, such as sugar refineries, starch factories, cleaning and dyeing houses, chemical works, etc., require an abundant water supply, and in some cases water of a high degree of purity. The question of water supply indeed often determines the location of factories. Large quantities are also used for Operating elevators, for boiler purposes, and for many other uses that may be classed as commercial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standard Forms of Field Notes for Civil Engineers The object of this book is to present forms for notetaking, and such necessary instructions in the use of them, that an engineer can take a complete set of notes and record the results of a survey in neat and workman-like manner. In all the books dealing with Surveying.and Railroad Location very little space has been given to the art of recording notes. An engineer who has worked long in the field will gradually develop a system of note-keeping which he will follow in a general way time after time; yet he will sometimes vary from his form in a few minor instances just enough to confuse a draftsman. As for the younger members of the profession, it is often hard for them to record the results of their surveys in such a manner that they can translate the notes themselves, unless they are plotted while the survey is still fresh in their minds. It is a very common thing to see an engineer called into the office to explain his notes to the draftsman; or a party returned to the field to get information which should have been taken in the original survey. An engineering party can be placed in the field and maintained only at a very large expense; and speed and accuracy is demanded by every employer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Civil Engineering Could he have prevailed upon himself, in obedience to what appears to be the pervading taste of the moment, to have pursued a different course, he should have held himself not only as recreant to that cause, but as having contributed to weaken the powers of the human mind, by relieving it of the necessity for patient investigation and close reasoning, which alone can give it that vigour which achieves excellence, and commands success in every department of life. United States Military Academy, June 1, 1837. Note. As the author frequently receives letters from persons, about commencing the study of civil engineering, asking his counsel, both as to the best course to be pursued, and the best works to be studied, he would, in this place, respectfully offer the following remarks: A thorough acquaintance with the mathematics, the author considers as indispensable to a successful pursuit of this profession; without this essential ground-work, he confesses, that he is entirely at a loss to conceive how any sound acquirements, other than a few mechanical rules, acquired in the routine of practice, can be made in it. Without wishing to prejudice the works of others, the author would call attention to the very complete Course of Mathematics of Professor Davies, late Professor of Mathematics in the Military Academy, as the best that has fallen under his observation in the English language. The great success of this gentleman as a teacher, is alone a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of his works, in the arrangements of which, moreover, he has followed the best of mathematical schools, - the French. As more immediately connected with the mathematics, and as an indispensable branch of knowledge to the engineer, the author would also mention a Treatise on Topography, by Lieutenant Eastman of the United States Army, now acting as Assistant Teacher of Drawing in the Military Academy, which is now in the hands of the publisher, and may be shortly expected from the press. The merits of this gentleman as a finished draughtsman may lead us to expect an excellent work on this branch. Connected with the Art of Constructions and applied mathematics, the author would mention the name of M. Navier. The European reputation of this eminent savan and engineer, would render eulogium from the author more, if possible, than supererogatory. His name is connected, either as author or editor, with the ablest works on the subject under consideration, that have appeared in France within the last twenty years; and the best counsel that the author could give to every young engineer, is to place in his library every work of science to which M. Navier's name is in any way attached. Of treatises on special branches of civil engineering, the author would mention, Smeaton's works generally. The Articles 'Bridge, Canals, and Carpentry, ' in the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, and the Supolements both to it and to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Tredgold on Carpentry. Tredgold on Cast-iron. Transactions of the Society of Civil Engineers. De Pambour on Locomotives. Wood on Rail-roads. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
