Excerpt from Stresses in Masonry

This little work Supplies, I believe, a felt want. Elementary treatises on steel-work are numerous, but a brief yet comprehensive account of the stresses in masonry has not yet, to my knowledge, been produced.

I have assumed that the reader is familiar with mathematics only up to quadratics, all more advanced matter being relegated to foot-notes. Also I have assumed that a knowledge Of stresses in steel, such as is possessed by the majority of young engineers and architects in practice, is at the reader's disposal.

Beyond this, I have endeavoured to make the matter as simple as possible, eliminating complex theory which may be a little more accurate, but does not adapt itself to design.
