Rivieres Et Torrens. Research On The Formation And Existence Of Streams, Rivers and Torrents. Francois-Michel Le Creulx, 1804. This volume bears the stamp of the Tetschner Library which was seized in 1933 by the Czechoslovak Army during the Occupation of Prague. The books were sold in 1934 to Hans Peter Kraus. Kraus was the most successful rare book dealer in the second half of the 20th century. Lecreulx (1734–1812) was one of the most important civil engineers in France during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He oversaw the construction of a large number of important bridges and in 1801 was appointed inspector general of bridges and roads. He took part in the planning of most of the chief public works programs during the years of the Empire. This work is a comprehensive theoretical and practical treatise on river control. The excellent plates depict various techniques of damming, embankment, construction of locks, etc.
