Abstract
THIS is one of the “Manueli Hoepli,” a series of pocket books in which the Italian “man in the street” can, at a small cost, obtain information on such diverse subjects as elliptic functions, Volapuk, botany, oils and olives* Greek mythology, and English weights and measures. The present volume deals with the construction and working of docks, harbours, wharves, canals, lighthouses, in short all fixed structures connected with navigation. It is illustrated by 209 woodcuts, and the last part contains a summary of Italian laws relating to harbours, harbour dues, and such matters.
