Excerpt from Parks and Park Engineering

N an age of many books every author must make his apology for a new volume. The output of engineer ing treatises and text-books is so great that for a time at least, in certain branches, further additions should be made only for very good and exceptional reasons. The author of this little book believes that by reason of the dearth of information on the specialized subject treated, a sufficient reason exists for the publication of his manuscript, which for several years in abbreviated form he has used in his classes at Lafayette College.

The magnitude of the park movement in America is only beginning to be appreciated by the average well informed person. Our larger cities already have their parks, most of them but recently acquired, and it will not be long before all of our American cities will have them also - not merely a few small city squares, but extensive mod ern parks, reservations and playgrounds, connected by parkways and boulevards.
