A reply to Mr John James's Review of the several pamphlets and schemes, That have been offer'd To the Publick, for the Building of a Bridge at Westminster; wherein his many Absurdities are detected, and the Manner of Measuring and Calculating the Quantity and Weight of Materials in all Kinds of Arches, explain'd. By which 'tis evident, That Mr. James is absolutely a Stranger to so much Geometry as is needful to come at the Measures of the Quantities of Materials to be imploy'd in such a Work, &c. And that a semicircular Stone Arch of 120 Feet in Diameter, has not so great a Pressure on its Base, as many Publick Buildings in this Kingdom have on theirs. Also, The Nature of the Tides, and Fall of Water at London Bridge, fully Explained. The Whole Exemplify'd by Geometrical Diagrams, and New Designs; demonstrating the Nature and Easy Performance of so great a Work. By B. Langley.
