Excerpt from The Anatomy of Bridgework

In offering this little book to the reader interested in Bridgework, the author desires to express his acknowledgments to the proprietors of "Engineering," in which journal the papers first appeared, for their courtesy in facilitating the production in book form.

It may possibly happen that the scanning of these pages will induce others to observe and collect information extending our knowledge of this subject - information which, while familiar to maintenance engineers of experience, has not been so readily available as is desirable.

No theory which fails to stand the test of practical working can maintain its claims to regard; the study of the behaviour of old work has, therefore, a high educational value, and tends to the occasional correction of views which might otherwise be complacently retained.
