Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Civil Engineering Could he have prevailed upon himself, in obedience to what appears to be the pervading taste of the moment, to have pursued a different course, he should have held himself not only as recreant to that cause, but as having contributed to weaken the powers of the human mind, by relieving it of the necessity for patient investigation and close reasoning, which alone can give it that vigour which achieves excellence, and commands success in every department of life. United States Military Academy, June 1, 1837. Note. As the author frequently receives letters from persons, about commencing the study of civil engineering, asking his counsel, both as to the best course to be pursued, and the best works to be studied, he would, in this place, respectfully offer the following remarks: A thorough acquaintance with the mathematics, the author considers as indispensable to a successful pursuit of this profession; without this essential ground-work, he confesses, that he is entirely at a loss to conceive how any sound acquirements, other than a few mechanical rules, acquired in the routine of practice, can be made in it. Without wishing to prejudice the works of others, the author would call attention to the very complete Course of Mathematics of Professor Davies, late Professor of Mathematics in the Military Academy, as the best that has fallen under his observation in the English language. The great success of this gentleman as a teacher, is alone a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of his works, in the arrangements of which, moreover, he has followed the best of mathematical schools, - the French. As more immediately connected with the mathematics, and as an indispensable branch of knowledge to the engineer, the author would also mention a Treatise on Topography, by Lieutenant Eastman of the United States Army, now acting as Assistant Teacher of Drawing in the Military Academy, which is now in the hands of the publisher, and may be shortly expected from the press. The merits of this gentleman as a finished draughtsman may lead us to expect an excellent work on this branch. Connected with the Art of Constructions and applied mathematics, the author would mention the name of M. Navier. The European reputation of this eminent savan and engineer, would render eulogium from the author more, if possible, than supererogatory. His name is connected, either as author or editor, with the ablest works on the subject under consideration, that have appeared in France within the last twenty years; and the best counsel that the author could give to every young engineer, is to place in his library every work of science to which M. Navier's name is in any way attached. Of treatises on special branches of civil engineering, the author would mention, Smeaton's works generally. The Articles 'Bridge, Canals, and Carpentry, ' in the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, and the Supolements both to it and to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Tredgold on Carpentry. Tredgold on Cast-iron. Transactions of the Society of Civil Engineers. De Pambour on Locomotives. Wood on Rail-roads. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Civil Engineering: For the Use of the Cadets of the United States Military Academy The author claims no merit for the contents of the work; the ideas and precepts, which it embodies, are but a part of the common stock belonging to the profession in general he has only endeavored to exercise a discriminating judgment in selecting from the various sources of information, both written and oral, to which he had access, what seemed to him most worthy of confidence. The faults of the work, of which no one can be more sensible than the author is, are peculiarly his own; its merits must be shared among many abler authorities both among the dead and living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Civil Engineering: For the Use of Cadets of the United States Military Academy This text-book is prepared especially for the cadets of the United States Military Academy, to be used while pursuing their studies in the course of Civil Engineering laid down for them. The object of the book is to state concisely the principles of the science of Civil Engineering, and to illustrate these principles by examples taken from the practice and writings of civil engineers of standing in their profession. These principles and facts are widely known and are familiar to all well-informed engineers; they will, however, be new to the beginner. The present edition differs slightly from the one that has been used for the past seven years. The modifications in the text are simply those that have been suggested by the use of the book in the class-room. The differences between the two editions are, however, not sufficiently great to present a similtaneous use of both old and new in the same class.
