Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

And in the absence of any particular treatise on the subject within the reach of everyone as yet, it is hoped that it may be of some help to beginners in bridge designing.
