Excerpt from Rivers and Canals, Vol. 1 of 2: The Flow, Control, and Improvement of Rivers and the Design, Construction, and Development of Canals, Both for Navigation and Irrigation; With Statistics of the Traffic on Inland Waterways

In conclusion, I would fain venture to hope that my earnest endeavours to render this book worthy of the important branch of engineering with which it deals, a means of promoting the progress of river engineering on scientific lines, and valuable generally to engineers, will meet with the approval of my professional brethren at home and abroad; and if this book should succeed in gaining their approbation, I shall regard it as my highest and most enduring reward.
