Eytelwein, JA Handbook of the Mechanics of Solid Bodies and Hydraulics. With particular consideration of their application in architecture. 2nd ed. Leipzig, Köchly, 1823. XVI, 400, XXIV pages. With 5 folded engraved plates and 60 woodcuts in the text. 3 cm). XVI, 400 pages, XXIV pages.

Engelmann, p. 94; NDB IV, p. 714. - Only slightly altered compared to the first edition of 1801. - In the first section, Eytelwein (1764-1848) describes the mechanics of solid bodies (pp. 1-82), the second, considerably more extensive section is devoted to hydraulics. Eytelwein discusses the movement of water during outflow, as well as in riverbeds and water pipes, and also waterwheels and lifts, suction, pressure, and spiral pumps, water column engines, water screws, and water screws. 'Especially important [are Eytelwein's] experimentally derived data on the outflow of water during weirs and outflow from openings in thin walls, etc.' (Matschoss, p. 69). Title on verso with stamp of the Fürstenberg Court Library, Donaueschingen. Included: Burg, A. Copperplate engravings for the Compendium of Popular Mechanics and Machine Theory. (Vienna, Gerold, 1844-46). With 20 steel-engraved plates. Contemporary red leather binding with rich gilt tooling. Internal hinges cracked, last plate loose. Edges slightly browned and somewhat finger-marked.
