Letters On Hydraulics (1849)

""Letters On Hydraulics"" is a book written by Ellis Sylvester Chesbrough in 1849. The book is a collection of letters that Chesbrough wrote to his friend, John B. Jervis, about the subject of hydraulics. Hydraulics is the branch of science that deals with the mechanical properties of fluids, especially water. The book covers a wide range of topics related to hydraulics, including the flow of water in pipes, the design of water supply systems, and the construction of dams and reservoirs. Chesbrough draws on his extensive experience as a civil engineer to provide practical advice and guidance on these topics. The book is written in a conversational style, with Chesbrough addressing Jervis directly in each letter. This gives the book a personal touch and makes it easy to read and understand. The letters are also filled with illustrations and diagrams to help explain the concepts being discussed. Overall, ""Letters On Hydraulics"" is an important work in the history of hydraulic engineering. It provides valuable insights into the practical application of hydraulics in civil engineering projects and is still relevant today for anyone interested in this field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
