Excerpt from Notes on Cylinder Bridge Piers and the Well System of Foundations: Especially Written to Assist Those Engaged in the Construction of Bridges, Quays, Docks, River-Walls, Weirs, Etc The pamphlet having been many years out of print, and several engineers and bridge-builders, here and abroad, having unsolicitedly testified to their having received "much help" from it, the whole subject has been considered de novo; and although this is by no means an exhaustive treatise, it being a kind of miniature cyclopaedia on "Cylinder Bridge Piers and the Well System of Foundations," and as the application of cylinder and well foundations has since been much extended, the hope is cherished that the book may be equally useful to the Engineer, Bridge-Builder, Contractor, and Student.
