Synopsis
Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Civil Engineering: For the Use of the Cadets of the United States Military Academy
The author claims no merit for the contents of the work; the ideas and precepts, which it embodies, are but a part of the common stock belonging to the profession in general he has only endeavored to exercise a discriminating judgment in selecting from the various sources of information, both written and oral, to which he had access, what seemed to him most worthy of confidence. The faults of the work, of which no one can be more sensible than the author is, are peculiarly his own; its merits must be shared among many abler authorities both among the dead and living.
