"The new edition of Mr. Fidler's work will again occupy the same conspicuous position among professional text-books and treatises as has been accorded to its predecessors. The instruction imparted is sound, simple, and full. The volume will be found valuable and useful alike to those who may wish to study only the theoretical principles enunciated, and ... to others whose object and business is ... practical."—The Engineer.

The Principles and Practice of
DOCK ENGINEERING.
By BRYSON CUNNINGHAM, B.E., Assoc.M.Inst.C.E.,
Of the Engineers' Department, Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.
GENERAL CONTENTS.
Historical and Discursive.—Dock Design.—Constructive Appliances.—Materials.—Dock and Quay Walls.—Entrance Passages and Locks.—Jetties, Wharves, and Piers.—Dock Gates and Caissons.—Transit Sheds and Warehouses.—Dock Bridges.—Graving and Repairing Docks.—Working Equipment of Docks.—Index.
*** The object of the Author has been to deal fully and comprehensively with the problems arising out of the construction and maintenance of Docks and their appanages, not simply as a record of works carried out, but as a treatise on the principles underlying their construction and an investigation of the mathematical theories involved. It is primarily intended for the student; but it is hoped that the large amount of data and material collected from various sources, and in many cases contributed specially for this book, will render it useful to the expert engineer as a work of reference; while, at the same time, of general interest to directors and others connected with the management and administration of seaports.
