(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve ...

Excerpt from A Treatise on Bracing With Its Application to Bridges and Other Structures of Wood or Iron: With 156 Illustrations on StoneThe first example that is likely to occur to the reader is that of the span drils of Southwark Bridge, but the arch, from its construction and depth of mate rial, is quite independent of additional bracing, and the use of the lozenges of the spandrils is merely to connect the arch with the roadway: thus, the S...
