These tables are apparently founded upon the method Of Henck given in his pocket-book, of which they endeavor to be a simplicati0n. It is rather difficult to pronounce upon the superiority of any method of calculating e~trthworks ; so much depends upon that to which an engineer has habituated himself. Custom on this point seems to guide the preference of every practitioner. Again, some engineers appear to regard all refinement as inapplicable to the calculation of earthworks ; in their opinion the contents are simply a rather rude approximation, necessarily so from the irregfilarities of the ground being so sudden in many instances. Hence they average the end sections and multiply the result by their distance apart. But some strong arguments may be advanced in support of the opposite course. Hudson's tables may prove of interest and use, and ate certainly entitled to as much consideration as any others.
