The second volume of this work embraces the application of the Principles of Mechanics to 

 Roofs, Bridges, Platform Scales, Water Powers, Dams, Water Wheels, Turbines, Water En- 

 gines, &c. &c. 



This work is one of the most interesting to mathematicians that has been laid before us for some time 

 and we may safely term it & scientific gem.— The Builder.

The design of the author in supplying the instructor with a guide for leaching, and the student with an 

 auxiliary for the acquirement of the science of mechanics, has, in my opinion, been attained in a most 

 successful manner. The illustrations, in the fullness of their construction, and in typographical execu- 

 tion, are without a parallel. It will afford me much pleasure to recommend its use by the members of 

 the profession with which I am connected.
