comprising the Principles of Statics and Cinematics, and Theory of Struc- 

 tures, Mechanism, and Machines. With numerous Diagrams. Tenth 

 Edition, 12/6. 



" Cannot fail to be adopted as a text-book. . . . The whole of the information is so

" Far surpasses in merit every existing work of the kind. As a manual for the hands 

 of the professional Civil Engineer it is sufficient and unrivalled, and even when we say 

 this, we fall short of that high appreciation of Dr. Rankine's labours which we should 

 like to express." — TJie Engineer.
