Harbours

Abstract

THIS work is a reprint, with large and valuable additions, of the article “Harbours” in the Encyclopædia Britannica.” Its importance may be gauged from its acceptance in successive editions of that “Encyclopædia, and from its having passed into three editions in the separate and enlarged form.

The Design and Construction of Harbours. A Treatise on Maritime Engineering.

By Thomas Stevenson Third Edition. Pp. xiv. + 355. Twenty-four Plates. (Edinburgh: A. and C. Black, 1886.)
