This remarkable document includes the historic detailed proposal for the improvement of the water supply for Brooklyn, New York in 1854. The proposal consists of 145 pages of details on how to supply the water, the details of the negotiations with suppliers and construction specifications. In addition there are 27 meticulously engraved plates showing plans for various construction requirements along the supply route, such as canals, ponds, pipes, conduits, reservoirs, engine house, etc. Despite the imperfections of this book, the complete text and illustrations that are all present, make this an exceptional historical record.
