The fireal Divide 



KNOWLEDGE IS THE GREAT DIVIDE BE- 

 TWEEN THE MAN WHO WORKS AND THE MAN 

 WHO PLANS. The Civil Engineer is, above all others, 

 the pioneer of progress. Few people have any idea 

 how wide is the field of work allotted to him. That 

 field includes almost every phase of our industrial, com- 

 mercial, municipal and national life, afid almost every 

 measure affecting public health, comfort or convenience 



CYCLOPEDIA OF 



CIVIL ENGINEERING 



8 VOLUMES. Page size, 7x10 inches. 3,600pages. 



3,000 illustrations, diagrams, plates, formulas, etc. 



BOUND IN HALF RED MOROCCO. 



This is the 6rst great reference work ever compiled covering the entire field 

 of Civil Engineering with all its allied branches, such as surveying, map making, 

 railroad engineering, road building, masonry, steel and reinforced concrete, struc- 

 tural engineering, bridge design and construction, river and harbor improve- 

 ment, water supply, irrigation, water power development, sanitary engineering,

The work represents the combined efforts of a large staff of practical ex- 

 perts. It is admirably adapted to the needs of the beginner and self-taught 

 practical man in addition to meeting all demands of the technically trained ex- 

 pert. The various sections have been prepared especially for HOME STUDY. 

 Heavy technicalities and mathematical formulas have been avoided wherever 

 possible without sacrificing the absolute requirements of practical instruction. 

 The language is clear and simple; the treatment concise, yet exhaustive; and 

 the arrangement of matter convenient so as to carry the reader forward by easy 

 stages. Series of test questions are inserted at the end of each section, enabling 

 the reader to test his knowledge as he studies, thus combining the advantages 

 of a text book and a reference work.
