SIR JOHN RENNIE'S WORK ON THE THEORY, FORMATION, AND CONSTRUCTION OF BRITISH AND FOREIGN HARBOURS. Copious explanatory text, illustrated by numerous examples, 2 Vols., very neat in half-morocco. The history of the most ancient maritime nations affords conclusive evidence of the importance which they attached to the construction of secure and extensive Harbours, as indispensably necessary to the extension of commerce and navigation, and to the successful establishment of colonies in distant parts of the globe. To this important subject, and more especially with reference to the vast extension of our commerce with foreign nations, the attention of the British Government has of late years been worthily directed; and as this may be reasonably expected to enhance the value of any information which may add to our existing stock of knowledge in a department of Civil Engineering as yet but imperfectly understood, its contribution at the present time may become generally useful to the Engineering Profession. The Plates are executed by the best mechanical Engravers; the Views finely engraved under the direction of Mr. Pye: all the Engineering Plates have dimen sions, with every explanatory detail for professional use. In octavo, cloth boards, price 98. HYDRAULIC FORMULÆ, CO-EFFICIENTS, For finding the Discharge of Water from Orifices, Notches, Weirs, Short Tubes, Diaphragms, Mouth-pieces, Pipes, Drains, Streams, and Rivers. BY JOHN NEVILLE, ARCHITECT AND C. E., MEMBER ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY, MEMBER INST. C. E. LOUTH, AND OF THE COUNTY OF THE TOWN OF DROGHEDA. This work contains above 150 different hydraulic formulæ (the Continental ones reduced to English measures), and the most extensive and accurate Tables yet published for finding the mean velocity of discharge from triangular, quadrilateral, and circular orifices, pipes, and rivers; with experimental results and coefficients;-effects of friction; of the velocity of approach; and of curves, bends, contractions, and expansions ;- the best form of channel; —THE DRAINAGE EFFECTS OF LONG and short wEIRS, AND WEIR-BASINS ;-extent of back-water from weirs; contracted channels ;-catchment basins;-hydrostatic and hydraulic pressure;-water-power, &c. --- TREDGOLD ON THE STEAM ENGINE. Published in 74 Parts, price 2s. 6d. each, in 4to, illustrated by very numerous engravings and wood-cuts, a new and much extended edition, now complete in 3 vols. bound in 4, in elegant half-morocco, price Nine Guineas and a Half. THE STEAM ENGINE, IN ITS PROGRESSIVE AND PRESENT STATE OF IMPROVEMENT; Practically and amply elucidating, in every detail, its modifications and applications, its duties and consumption of fuel, with an investigation of its principles and the proportions of its parts for efficiency and strength; including examples of British and American recently constructed engines, with details, drawn to a large scale. The well-known and highly appreciated Treatise, Mr. TREDGOLD'S national Work on the STEAM ENGINE, founded on scientific principles and compiled from the practice of the best makers-showing also easy rules for construction, and for the calculation of its power in all cases has commanded a most extensive sale in the several English editions, and in Translations on the Continent. These editions being now out of print, the proprietor has been induced to TREDGOLD ON THE STEAM ENGINE. enlarge and extend the present edition by practical examples of all kinds, with the most recent improvements in the construction and practical operations of the steam engine both at home and abroad. The work is divided into the sections named below, either of which may be purchased separately: working engineers will be thus enabled to select those portions which more especially apply to the objects upon which they may be respectively employed. Several scientific men, extensively and practically employed, have contributed original and really practical papers of the utmost utility; by which the value of this extended edition is much increased. copious INDEX for reference is added.
