Abstract
THERE is, perhaps, no book on mechanics so well suited to the wants of civil and mechanical engineers as the late Dr. Weisbach's “Lehrbuch der Ingenieur und Maschinen-Mechanik.” In his preface to the first edition of his work the author thus stated his design (we quote from the translation before us):—
A Manual of the Mechanics of Engineering, and of the Construction of Machines,
with an Introduction to the Calculus. by Julius Weisbach. Vol. 1.—Theoretical Mechanics. Translated from the Fourth Augmented and Improved German Edition, by Eckley B. Coxe, A.M. (London: Trübner and Co., 1877.)
