Excerpt from Foundations and Foundation Walls: For All Classes of Buildings, Pile Driving, Building Stones Bricks, Pier and Wall Construction, Mortars, Limes, Cements, Concretes, Stuccos, Etc
The subject of Foundations although treated of in various works on construction has not heretofore, with the exception of one or two small manuals, been made the subject of a special book. The importance of the subject and the liberal patronage afforded the first edition of this work had led the publisher to believe a second edition thoroughly revised and brought down to the present date would prove valuable to those engaged in designing and constructing large and important structures. After consultation with the author it was decided to recast the whole thing and make it practically a new work. With this in view it has been almost entirely rewritten and all new information bearing on the subject gathered into it.
