The object sought to be attained in this book was not the making of an exhaustive scientific treatise on stresses, butt ply in one a text-book suited to the usual limited time which can be given to the subject, and a book of reference for the student in his future practical work, and for the practical engineer whose time is too much taken up to get with advantage from elaborate treatises, a working theory for whatever problem he may have in hand. This may seem a difficult object to attain in one book. The method in which this object is accomplished is the only claim for originality which the author makes. The points which have been kept in mind are: 1st. A nomenclature to correspond as nearly as passible to general practice in this country, and arranged alphabetically in a table to which reference can be made for the meaning of any letter in a formula wherever found. 2nd. An avoidance of lengthy explanations of demonstrations with a multiplicity of letters and references to figures. The figures are made to speak for themselves as much as possible. 3rd. While elementary proofs are avoided, there will be few things which the engineer, who has not studied Analytical Mechanics and Strength of Materials, will have to take on faith. I ndeed, there is much which for the college student will be review, but is put in on account of its fundamental importance. 4th. Not all the matter is intended for class room work, but some only for reference by the student should he have use for it in his future career as an engineer. On the other hand, many things should be amplified and taken up more in detail in connection with the problems which the student solves. The method adopted by the author is to take up a lesson first in the form of a lecture combined with questions, of which the student makes notes.
