"The simple fact that a fourth edition has been called for is the best testimony to its nierit-j. 

 No words of praise from us can strengthen the position so well and so steadily maintained by this

 bring every portion of the contents up to the present date." — Broad Arrow.

A PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL ESS A Y ON OBLIQUE 

 BRIDGES. With 13 large Plates. By the late George Watson Buck, 

 MJ.C.E. Third Edition, revised by his Son, J. H. Watson Bick, ^LLC.E. ;

 cloth. 



" The standard text-book for aU engineers regarding skew arches is Mr. Buck's treatise, and it 

 would be impossible to consult a better."— J- >t^i>ieer. 



" Mr. Buck's treatise is recognised as a standard text-book, and his treatment has divested the 

 subject of many of the intricacies supposed to belong to it. As a guide to the engineer and archi- 

 tect, on a confessedly difficult subject, Mr. Buck's work is unsurpassed," — Bttildinj^ Xeii's,

" A work of the present nature by a man of Mr. Haskell's experience must pro^ e invaluable. 

 I'iie tables of estimates will considerably enhance its value." — Engineering:.

" The way in which accuracy is attainrd. by a simple division of each cross section into three 

 elements, two in which are constant and one variable, is ingenious." — Athenceiiin.

" A book which no engineer of any kind can afford to be without." — Colliery Guardian, 



"There is no greater authority than Barlow." — Building News. 



' The book is undoubtedly worthy of the highest commendation, and of an honourable place 

 in the library of every engineer." — Mining Journal.
