af Eaton Hodgkinson

First published in 1822 and reissued here in the 1842 fourth edition, this work by Thomas Tredgold (1788-1829) served as a standard textbook for engineers in the early nineteenth century. Annotated and enhanced by the structural engineer Eaton Hodgkinson (1789-1861), the text addresses both practical and mathematical questions.
