A treatise on building in water. : In two parts. Part I. Particularly relative to the repair and re-building of Essex-Bridge, Dublin, and bridge-building in general, with plans properly suited to the re-building or Ormond-Bridge. Part II. Concerning an attempt to contrive and introduce quick and cheap methods, for erecting substantial stone-buildings and other works, in fresh and salt water, quaking bogs or morasses, for various purposes; fully laid down and clearly demonstrated, by twelve practical propositions, but not in any case exceeding ten fathom deep: together, with a plan for a spacious and commodious harbour for the downs in England, projecting to 20 feet deep at low water. Principally addressed and peculiarly adapted to young and unexperienced readers. Illustrated with sixty-three copper-plates. / By George Semple.
