Abstract
PROF. ADDISON explains, in his preface, that his aim in writing this book was to present a compact summary of the fundamental principles of hydraulics and the manner in which they are applied, and he expresses the hope that the book will meet the requirements of three classes of readers—the engineer in practice who desires to keep in touch with modern developments in hydraulics, the general student of engineering and the student who wishes to specialize in the subject and who desires a reliable basis for further study. In these aims he has succeeded admirably.
