Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Why and Wherefore of Bridge Now alive, and Bridge the game in question, he assuredly would not limit his prophecy to the scoffer's declining years. Some few malcontents there be who still remain obdurate in the face of all these testimonials, but they may safely be allowed to gnash their teeth in the outer darkness which they have chosen, and to fulminate their grievances against the tyranny of the game in the ever-sympathetic columns of the halfpenny papers. It is not with such that we are concerned, but with the ever-growing multitude who, seeing that in Bridge, and Bridge alone, lies their claim to consideration from their fellow-mortals, have wisely determined to bow the knee to Baal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bridge Book: Practical Talks About the Bridge The game of Bridge has, like other things in the world, been marching with the times; the methods of yesterday are, in many respects, not quite the methods of to-day. It is only a few short years since Bridge appear ed as a stranger in England, and, though we Opened our arms and welcomed the newcomer, it remained nevertheless a stranger for very, very long. We knew little of its science; we needed time for its evolution. Things, however, have be gun to shape themselves at last; fallacies, which passed unchallenged before, have now been detect ed; the possibilities of the no-trump declaration and of the judicious use of the double are appreciated and understood; the advantages result ing from defensive play are admitted; the principle of opening a long suit in preference to a short one is accepted, and so on. In fact, we may now fairly say that the game is in order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Bridge Engineering History is very fully taught in Schools of Architecture, but up to the present, very little time or thought has been given in the Engineering Schools to the History of Engineering, which is cer tainly quite as worthy of attention. The absence of such courses is generally ascribed to insufficient time and the dearth of litera ture. A need for this book is therefore evident, especially as there is at present no other on the subject in the English language.

Many amiable people have gradually formed the idea that this enterprise was a gift in benevolent preparation for posterity, and often inquire, with Sir Boyle Roche, what posterity has done for us. There are even some who have looked upon the grim towers as useless monuments of an im practicable scherrie. But through so many years of waiting, the work has crept slowly on.

While learning to play it will be well to follow the rigid rules and makes. After that, let experience be your teacher. It will not be a kind one (most uncom promising in every way), but it will strengthen the knowledge already gained, and each time one plays will add a little more. I owe much to my many pupils, who have always been a help and inspiration to me. The questions they ask, the way in which things appeal to them, have oftentimes given me ideas and made it possible for me to make it clearer to others. V. M. M.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroad Bridges The existing and the accepted types of bridges in use to-day on American railroads being the results of a true evolution, no attempt to present them intelligently would be complete without a brief sketch of the past history of bridge; in America. The rapid development of the new world and the enormous number of bridges that has been built within the limits of the nineteenth century, have furnished us with a wide experience, from which we have been able to select the good and reject much that was bad or undesirable. The pioneer life, not only of the earlier settlers, but of each genera tion to the present day, has developed to a high degree the energies, ingenuity and self-reliance of the American people. These pioneers were compelled to be men of all trades. Their limited resources and the lack of time or opportunity to seek for past precedents, impelled them to solve each problem anew. They, thought with vigor and were not fettered with the trammels of science, before they were capable of ex erting their mental faculties to advantage, as Sir Joseph Banks wrote to Thomas Paine in 1788.[from transactions or american society or CIVIL engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forth Railway Bridge: Being the Expanded Edition of the Giant's Anatomy It is, however, quite impossible by means of the pen to convey to the mind of the reader the immensity of this work, which can only be realised, not by a single visit, but by constant and careful study of the numerous and varied parts, and in this way alone does the magnitude and boldness of design gradually develop itself in the mind of the observer. It may perhaps be well to state that it has been the writer's object not to trespass upon treatises which have hitherto been or may be published, dealing with the subject in a scientific or technical manner a character the Author by no means assumes for this outline - at the same time it is but right to add, that in what follows the greatest care has been taken to ensure such clearness of description as may enable the ordinary reader, who has any interest in the undertaking, to grasp the general design of the Bridge and the various methods of erection. Those who wish to further follow up the subject, cannot fail to derive much pleasure in the perusal of other and more voluminous works which have left my hands.
