Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Civil Engineering: A General Reference Work on Surveying, Highway Construction, Railroad Engineering, Earthwork, Steel Construction, Specifications, Contracts, Bridge Engineering, Masonry and Reinforced Concrete, Municipal Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, River and Harbo
Engineering, as well as to satisfy the desires of the self-taught practical man who attempts to keep up with 'modern engineer ing developments.(l Books on the several divisions of Civil Engineering are many and valuable, but their information is too voluminous to be of the greatest value for ready reference. The Cyclopedia of Civil Engineering offers more condensed and less technical treatments of these same subjects from which all unnecessary duplication has been eliminated; when compiled into nine handy volumes, with comprehensive indexes to facilitate the looking up of various topics, they represent a library admirably adapted to the requirements of either the technical or the practical reader.
