Excerpt from The Rudiments of Hydraulic Engineering, Vol. 1 In the first edition of the "Rudimentary Treatise on Civil Engineering, " the plan upon which the whole subject was treated had been drawn up on such principles as to render necessary, in a manner, the discussion of many questions connected with the science of Hydraulic Engineering in the general body of the work. It would, perhaps, be difficult to define exactly the limit of demarcation between the duties of the civil and of the hydraulic engineer, if indeed any distinction between the two professions be recognised, so that even in reproducing the portion of the Treatise especially devoted to the latter division of the subject, in a separate form, much of the original confusion must still exist. An attempt has, however, been made to bring together in the following pages the consideration of the bulk of the subjects especially connected with building in water, or with the applications of that fluid, and, to some extent, to make this Rudimentary Treatise, as far as possible, complete in itself.
