The Design of Structures

The Design of Structures: A Practical Treatise On the Building of Bridges, Roofs, &c by Samuel Anglin offers a comprehensive guide to structural engineering as it was practiced in the late 19th century. This detailed work covers the principles and practical applications of designing and constructing bridges, roofs, and other significant architectural structures. Anglin's treatise provides insights into the materials, methods, and considerations crucial for ensuring the stability and durability of these constructions.

Originally published in 1891, this book provides a valuable historical perspective on the evolution of structural design. It remains a relevant resource for architects, engineers, and anyone interested in the history of building technology and the foundations of modern engineering practices. Readers will appreciate the detailed explanations and practical guidance offered within "The Design of Structures."
