Edinburgh - Further to an enquiry WW made relative to the origin of the oblique arch, JDF has seen a reference to its origins in the 'Civil Engineer' journal for 1842, vol.v, p. 39: 'it is ascribed to Chapman in 1787; who it is stated claims it for himself in the article oblique arch in Rees's Cyclopaedia'.
