Synopsis:

"A Method of Calculating the Cubic Contents of Excavations and Embankments, by the aid of Diagrams" offers a detailed exploration of techniques used in 19th-century civil engineering. Authored by John Cresson Trautwine, this work provides a methodology for efficiently calculating the volume of earthworks, essential for railroad construction and other large-scale projects. The book emphasizes the use of diagrams to simplify complex calculations, making it a valuable resource for engineers and surveyors of the era.

This treatise is useful for those interested in the history of engineering, surveying practices, and the mathematical methods employed in large construction projects during the late 19th century. Trautwine's approach reflects the practical needs and technological capabilities of his time, offering insights into how engineers tackled the challenges of building the infrastructure that shaped the modern world.
