An introduction to a general system of hydrostatics and hydraulics, philosophical and practical: wherein the most reasonable and advantageous methods of raising and condusting water, for the watering noblemen's and gentlemen's seats, buildings and gardens, are carefully (and in a manner not yet published in any language) laid down. Illustrated and explained by sixty copper cuts, done by the best hands and collected from the best Italian and French designs (together with some new ones of the author's invention). By Stephen Switzer.
