A survey of Westminster Bridge, As 'tis now sinking into ruin. Wherein the cause of the foundation giving way under the sinking pier, and its dislocated arches, is not only accounted for; but also, that the whole structure is likewise subject to the same immediate (if not unavoidable) ruin. With remarks on the piratical method used for building the piers. And a just estimate of the expence for which all their foundations might have been made secure with piles, until every stone, with which the bridge is built, was torn into atoms, by the hungry teeth of devouring time. By Batty Langley, of Meard's Court, Dean-Street, Soho, architect.
