In the war with Mexico (1846–48), Barnard oversaw the construction of the defenses of Tampico and surveyed battlefields around Mexico City. He was the superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy in 1855 and 1856. As Chief Engineer of the Army of the Potomac, 1861–62, Barnard’s most important assignment was to construct the defenses of Washington and its environs. During the Civil War President Abraham Lincoln offered him the position of Chief Engineer, which Barnard declined. His reasons are not known with certainty, but contemporaries believed that he preferred not to be elevated over officers senior to him. Barnard was a prolific author, having written several works on a variety of topics, including the gyroscope, mathematics, seacoast defense, the North Sea Canal in the Netherlands, and the defenses of Washington and New York City. General Barnard received several honors, such as honorary degrees from the University of Alabama (1838) and Yale College (1864). He was also an incorporator of the National Academy of Sciences (1863). This Gyroscope booklet contains Barnard's American Journal of Education writings on the Gyroscope in 1857-58. A few pages with stains, covers with small corner chips and creases. 9" - 5¾".…
