First sentence: THE manner of calculating regular cross-sections of excavation and embankment, contained by uniform slopes, has been reduced to formulae by many authors, representing the operation in concise form; and these formulae, modified by the third dimension, length, have been moulded to express the content of a volume between two such sections, and even the bulk of a series, indefinitely extended, of such volumes, lying consecutive between cross-sections equi-distant, the width of roadway and rate of slope, of course, remaining the same throughout the whole length.
