It is beyond the compass of this short work to give extracts from this most interesting volume, but the drawings given in illustration of Venturi's letterpress are reproduced on the opposite and following pages PAGE 17 and will speak for themselves to all engineers who have made any study of this branch of hydraulics. PAGE 19 CLEMENS HERSCHEL. (Past President of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, Member American Society of Civil Engineers, Member Institution of Civil Engineers of London. ) .../CLEMENS HERSCHEL was born in 1842, ^-* graduated at Harvard University in 1860, and after a period of further study in France and Germany, returned to the United States and began to practise as a Civil Engineer. His energies were at first turned to the design and construction of wrought iron bridges of which several examples still attest the excellence of his work by the manner in which they carry the greatly in- creased loads produced by modern traction. But the example and influence of that master of practical hydraulics, James Bicheno Francis PAGE 21 (1815-1892), for more than forty years the "Agent and Engineer of the Proprietors of the Locks and Canals on Merrimac River, " at Lowell, Massachusetts, author of " Lowell Hydraulic Experiments " and other writings, in whose activities it had been Herschel's privilege many times to take part, drew him away from other branches of civil engineering and led him to devote his principal efforts to the cause of hydraulic engineering.
