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.
