An universal system of water and water-works, philosophical and practical. In four books. Faithfully digested, from the most approv'd writers on this subject, by Stephen Switzer. Containing I. An Historical Account of the Chief Water-Works that were and are remarkable in Ancient and Modern Times; more particularly the Roman Aqueducts, &c. and the Honour they have contributed to the respective Places where they have been used. II. The Different Hypotheses which have been laid down concerning the Original and Rise of Springs; of the Good and Bad Properties of Water; the Best Manner of Discovering and Searching for Springs; and the Taking of True Levels, in order for the Conducting Water to its several intended Uses. III. Hydrostatical Experiments (relating to the Motion of Water) selected from the Most-Celebrated Foreign and English Authors, more particularly Boyle, Hooke, Wallis, Lowthorpe, &c. Also the full Description and Uses of Mechanical Engines for the Forcing Water to great Heights, and applying the same to the Watering Gentlemens Seats and Gardens, in a better Manner than any hitherto extant. IV. Some Curious Disquisitions concerning the Vacuum of the Ancients; the Gravitation of Fluids; the Elasticity, Dilatation, and Compression of Air; the best Methods of Conveying Water, and for making Reservoirs, Basons, Cascades, Cataracts, Rural Grotesque Canals, Fountains, and all Kinds of Ornamental Water-Works. V. A Collection of Desions for this Purpose from the most eminent Masters, finely Engraven on Sixty Copper-Plates. In two volumes.

An introduction to a general system of hydrostaticks and hydraulicks, Philosophical and Practical. Wherein The most reasonable and advantageous Methods of raising and conducting Water, for the watering Noblemens and Gentlemens Seats, Buildings, Gardens, &c. are carefully (and in a Manner not yet publish'd in any Language) laid down. Containing in General A Physico-Mechanical Enquiry into the Original and Rise of Springs, and of all the Hypotheses relating thereto; as also the Principles of Water-Works, and the Draughts and Descriptions of some of the best Engines for raising and distributing Water, for the Supply of Country Seats, Cities, Towns corporate, &c. Deduc'd from the Theory of Archimedes, Gallileo, Torricelli, Boyle, Wallis, Plot, Hook, Marriotte, Desaguliers, Derham, Hawksbee, and others. Reduc'd to Practice by Vitruvius, Bockler, de Caus, and other Architects amongst the ancient Romans, Italians, French, Flemmings, and Dutch, and much improv'd by later Practice and Experience. Illustrated and Explain'd by Sixty Copper Cuts, done by the best Hands, of the Principles which tend to the Explanation of the whole, and of rural Grotesque, and cheap Designs for Reservoirs, Cataracts and Cascades of Water, Canals, Basins, Fountains, &c. Collected from the best of the Italian and French Designs (together with some new ones of the Author's own Invention) few of which have ever appear'd in Books of Hydrostaticks, &c. In Two Volumes. By Stephen Switzer.

A treatise of the motion of water, and other fluids: with the origin of fountains or springs, and the cause of winds. In which Treatise, the Manner of Levelling or Conducting Rivers, in Order to make them Navigable; the making of Aqueducts for the Supply of Gentlemens Seats; the whole Art of contriving and making Jetts of Water for Fountains; and the Manner how to proportion the Strength of Pipes for conveying Water from any Height, are plainly demonstrated from the Laws of Hydrostaticks, by above a Hundred Curious Experiments. Written originally in French, by the learned M. Marriotte, Member of the Royal Academy at Paris. And translated into English, with several Annotations for Explaining the doubtful Places, by J. T. Desaguliers, M. A. F. R. S. Chaplain to the Right Honourable James Earl of Caernarvon.
