Abstract

(1) THE “American Civil Engineers' Pocket-Book” has already established an envi able reputation for trustworthiness and complete ness, which is well maintained in the third edition. A new section of ninety-six pages on river and harbour works has been added, whilst important additions have been made in the other sections. The scope of the book is wide, each subject being written by a specialist in the particular branch dealt with, although the treatment is simple and requires a minimum of previous knowledge. Valuable features of the book are the numerous examples worked out where concise and accurate-description would otherwise be difficult. Although the question of cost varies enormously with time and locality, the tables of prices of works executed will add greatly to the use of the volume.
