In the 1840s the engineer Peter Bruff (1812-1900) designed the 1,000-foot-long Chappel Viaduct, then the largest brick structure in Britain. In this illustrated guide, first published in 1838 and here reissued in the revised second edition of 1840-2, he describes methods for taking accurate ground surveys.
