The Institution consists of Members, Corresponding Members, Associates, and Honorary Members. Those who reside in or near London have the advantage of attending the Meetings of the Institution, from which Corresponding Members are, by their distance, debarred. In order, therefore, to impart to absent Members the benefits of the Institution, and to extend the circle of its utility, a selection has been made, from its valuable collection of Communications, of Papers and Drawings on such subjects as may at this period be acce table to the Profession and to those who take an interest in the Art; and this selection it is now proposed to embody in a Volume of Transactions. The Work is printed in the best manner, with a new type, and upon a superior paper; the Plates are from elaborate Drawings, neatly engraved by Gladwin, and others equally eminent in mechanical engraving. Engineers and others (who are not Members of the Institution) desirous of possessing the Transactions, are requested to apply to the Publisher. ། |
