Excerpt from Engineering Studies, Vol. 1: American Stone Arches
This collection of photographic views of Engineering Works should be found valuable alike to the practicing engineer and to the student.
Short descriptions and criticisms are appended to point out the good and the bad features of the designs, with the view of bettering the character of future engineering structures. A stone arch is very often regarded as a work of art so aesthetic, that it cannot be injured in appearance bv care less detailing. Never was there a greater mistake than this, nor one more frequently made.
The intention is to bring out a number of parts forming a series which will include, in addition to stone arches, Bridge Approaches of Masonry, Bridge Towers and Portals, Notable Bridge Piers, Tunnel Portals and other engineering works of like character.
There will be six parts devoted to stone arches of several countries, and six or more parts devoted to miscellaneous structures.
