Ownership second free endpaper, otherwise clean throughout, binding and hinges sound. The book looks as though it was never used. Mahan was a professor of civil engineering at West Point, and wrote the difinitive (for the time) text on the subject. He was in the process of revising it when he died; Wood took over, a chapter on river improvements by the author's son was added, and it was published in 1875, shortly after the author's death. This is a wonderful copy of that revised text. Seller Inventory # 6509
