Abstract
THIS well-known text-book having reached its fourth edition, it is unnecessary to review it as a new work. The changes from the third edition are very great; the chief is the omission of the whole of the “Hydraulic and Meteorological Statistics” (about 224 pp. of tables); these relate chiefly to India, so that their omission is an advantage to the “Manual” as a general text-book, as it has enabled the text to be increased from 221 to 307 pp., and the general working tables from 104 to 184 pp., without increasing the bulk of the volume; the chief increase of the text is the introduction of an account of the great Roorkee hydraulic experiments.
