The only exceptions to this observation are to be found during the few and short periods in the history of the world, when it has fallen to the lot of nations to be governed by suchmenasLouis XIV...

- ITremains to say a few words of the associations that have been formed for promoting intercourse and knowledge among engineers, and especially of the Institution from which this work emanates. Whenthe Royal Society was established, its views embraced the whole range of mathematical and physical knowledge, and it continued for more than a century to be the only public body in England devoted to such pursuits, but as the objects of philosophical research multiplied and their cultivation became more widely diffused, the tastes and avocations of individuals inclined them to different studies, and the division of employment so requisite for the perfection of the arts was found equally to apply to science...

THE river Hull, according to Mr. Tickell, the historian of the town, formerly discharged itself into the Humber between Drypool and Marfleet, and that part of the present river usually called the Old Harbour, was originally no more than a,n open drain cut by Lord Sayer of Sallon,for the purpose of draining the country...

THEearliest approximation to what is now known by the nameoflock,Consisted of a simple dam formed across the bed of a river, so as to raise the water to such a height as to allow vessels to float along it. Where the river had a considerable fall with a strong current, it was necessary to have these dams at short distances from each other, otherwise the requisite depth of water could not be obtained...

Esq., THEnumerous and extensive navigable canals by which this kingdom is intersected, have tended in a great degree to exhaust everynatural sourcefrom which water for their supply can be obtained; this renders the further extension of these important channels of commerce difficult, and in many cases impracticable. Some canals are altogether supplied by artificial means at an enormousexpense, others only in part, whilst the greater number, depending upon natural sources alone, are more or Iess in want of water, and consequently the navigation is interrupted during the driest season of the year...

HAVINGof late been engaged in estimating the dimensions of timber required for LockGates, I have been led to the consideration of the different strains to which they are liable, and the results of my investigations having, in some instances, been rather unexpected and interesting, I beg tolay them before the Institution of Civil Engineers, in the hope that they will prove of utility. In England, of late years, lock gates of large dimensions have beenconstructed of an arched figure, with a view to increasing their strength ; how far an advantage is gained by this construction, it is chiefly the object of the present paper to investigate...
