Recueil de divers mémoires extraits de la Bibliothèque impériale des ponts et chaussées, à l'usage de MM. les ingénieurs

Lesage, P. C. (Pierre Charles), b. 1740, Chrétien, Gilles Louis, 1754-1811, Quenedey, Edme, 1756-1830, Cochin, Charles Nicolas, 1715-1790 · 1810 · Paris, Firmin Didot · 7 pictures

A compilation of engineering memoirs drawn from the Bibliothèque impériale des ponts et chaussées, assembled in Paris by Firmin Didot in 1810 for working civil engineers. The pages are mostly dense tables of contents and indexed text, with a few running headers and small section titles. A designer might take from them the plain typographic hierarchy of tabular listings, with ruled columns, italic author names, and centred section headings.
