Abstract
THE author of this little book endeavours to maintain the thesis that engineering is an art and not a science, and that since mechanical arts cannot be taught at a university, courses in engineering in universities are, in consequence, futile, and fail to contribute to the training of an engineer. This point of view is not novel, but it is surprising to find it supported by a university lecturer in civil and mechanical engineering.
