Excerpt from The Strains on Structures of Ironwork: With Practical Remarks on Iron Construction

From a varied experience in the practice of Civil Engineering, the subject of the present treatise appears to me one of the most difficult branches of the profession. My engagements of late years have induced me to study it with peculiar attention, as I was appointed in 1852 to assist the principal officers of the Crystal Palace Company at Sydenham, in calculating the strength and designing the details of the Company's works; and my subsequent practice, arising in a great degree from this connection, has partaken much of a similar character. I found great difficulty, however, in acquiring a complete knowledge of the strains on the several parts of iron framings, as the works of previous authors, though displaying great talent and research, have left much undetermined or obscure which is necessary to the designer of such structures. I have laboured to supply, in some measure, these deficiencies, as I found them recurring in my practice; and now venture to lay before my professional brethren these results of my study and experience, in the hope that their embodiment in a simple and practical form may facilitate their labours in design, and promote the comprehension of a branch, which the growing preference for ironwork in engineering structures invests with well-acknowledged importance.

In preparing a second edition of this work, the author expresses deep gratification at the many assurances received by him of its practical utility.
