Book Description
Excerpt from An Easy Introduction to Railway Mensuration: Illustrated by Drawings From Original Works, That Have Been Carried Out Upon Various English Railway Lines, Showing a Plain and Easy Method of Taking Out Quantities of Every Description of Railway Work and Estimating ThemThe purport of this work is to instruct the inexperienced, in a concise form, in the practical methods of taking out quantities and admeasuring railway and other works. The plans are copied from original drawings of works that have been carried out - the dimensions of the various parts are given in columns with marginal description. Parts of each are cubed and carried out, and the remainder left for the learner to cube and finish for practice. To each plan are blank ruled pages, sufficient for the student to measure such plan again, so that, by reference to the plans and the original dimensions, the whole admeasurement of each can be carried out by his own work, and thus a thorough knowledge of the various di mensions and their measurement acquired and reduced to practice.There may be many other forms of bringing out dimensions, but the numbers of parts measured should always be placed first, to prevent error of quantity, such as occurred a few years since in the erection of a new church a few miles from London, where the gallery was measured and not twiced, thus leaving one gallery entirely out of the quantities, which could scarcely have happened had the No. 2 been placed first.

Book Description
We tend to feel that works of fiction give us special access to lived experience. But how do novels cultivate that feeling? Where exactly does experience reside? The Location of Experience argues that, paradoxically, novels create experience for us not by bringing reality up close, but by engineering environments in which we feel constrained from acting. By excavating the history of the rise of experience as an important category of Victorian intellectual life, this book reveals how experience was surprisingly tied to emotions of remorse and regret for some of the era’s great women novelists: the Brontës, George Eliot, Margaret Oliphant, and Elizabeth Gaskell. It shows how these writers passed ideas about experience—and experiences themselves—among each other. Drawing on intellectual history, psychology, and moral philosophy, The Location of Experience shows that, through manipulating the psychological dimensions of fiction’s formal features, Victorian women novelists produced a philosophical account of experience that rivaled and complemented that of the male philosophers of the period.
