The design has heen to develop from Fundamental Principles a System easy
of comprehension, and such as to enable the attentive reader and Student to
judge understandingly for himself, as to the relative merits of different plans
and combinations, and to adopt for use such as may be most suitable for the
cases he may have to deal with.
It is hoped the work may prove au appropriate Text-Book upou the subject
treated of, for the Engineering Student, and a useful manual for the Practio-
ing Engineer and Bridge Builder.
