Excerpt from Tunneling: A Practical Treatise During the few years that have elapsed since the publica tion Of the first edition Of this work, the art Of tunneling through different soils and especially under large bodies of water, has made considerable progress. During the last ten years, no less than eight subaqueous tunnels involving the construction of sixteen tubes have been constructed for the service Of the city Of New York alone. The reader Will, no doubt, also recall the tunnels under the Boston Harbor, the St. Clair, the Charles and Detroit Rivers in our own country as well as the tunnels under the Thames and the Seine in Europe. Engineers, contractors and workmen have acquired such experience in these difficult underground and under-river construction that the work is now undertaken Without any Of the fear and hesitation that were associated With the earlier enterprises.
