Excerpt from Elements of Practical Construction, for the Use of Students in Engineering and Architecture, Vol. 1: Structures in Direct Tension and Compression; With Atlas of Plates and Numerous Woodcuts

Many other complicated varieties in the mode of action of the resisting powers of bodies might be enumerated in addition to these four, such as that which takes place from the interior to the exterior surface of hydraulic presses, and of pieces of ordnance when fired, &c. &c.; and, so far as at the present time they have been investigated, they shall be mentioned here after.

The materials whose power of resistance it is, as far as the practice of engineering is concerned, most important to deter mine, are, cast iron, wrought or malleable iron, and timber, chiefly fir, as imported from the Baltic or America.
