‎EDITION ORIGINALE - BEL EXEMPLAIRE - "Called THE FIRST DIDACTIC WORK ON HYDRAULICS, this text was widely read... In the course of his professional activities, D'AUBUISSON had occasion to reflect on many problems of hydraulics and he summarized his thoughts in the present work. In the advertisement, D'AUBUISSON states that the purpose of the book is to provide engineers with the rules that must direct them in the projects which they may have to address on the conduct of waters, on their work, and on hydraulic machines... While the work is an excellent reflection of its times, Rouse and Ince note that it forms part of "a rapidly growing series of books on a subject that in itself was undergoing a continuous expansion".
