The appointment of Swiss-born Charles Labelye (1705–62) as the engineer in charge of the construction of the first Westminster Bridge ruffled some feathers among British professional rivals. This 1751 publication expands upon the shorter work Labelye had prepared in 1739 to explain how the foundations were laid.
