Abstract
IN a country so favourably situated for the utilisation of hydraulic power as is the United States, the growing interest in the study of the science of hydraulics, as marked by the rapidly increasing number of text-books on the subject, is not to be wondered at. The book under review is the joint production of the assistant professor of civil engineering and of the lecturer in hydraulic engineering at Harvard University, and is written as a text-book for university students.
A Treatise on Hydraulics.
By Prof. H. J. Hughes A. T. Safford. Pp. xiv + 505. (New York: The Macmillan Co. London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1911.) Price 16s. net.
