Abstract
THE first-named of these treatises on highways was prepared by the author, who is professor of civil engineering at Columbia University, for the students there, “with a view to furnish a text in which the fundamentals of the subject should not be buried in a mass of detail,” and the endeavour has been “to outline and emphasise the basic principles which are essential to good highways.”
