The first edition of
this famous work was the only engineering textbook that was banned by the Roman
Catholic Church. I have the only 1st edition that I ever found. I can understand
why it was banned!!! All offensive material was purged in the later editions
including this Google reprint.

search. The book will come up referenced on a Google Book link. Click on the
