THE WORKS MAIiAGER’S HANDBOOK OF MODERN RULES, TABLES AND DATA For Civil and Mechanical Engineers, Millwrights and Boiler Makers; Tool Makers, Machinists and Metal Workers; Iron and Brass Founders, etc., etc. BY WALTER Sa HUTTON, CIVIL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER. The Author having been in the habit of compiling Rnles and Data for his own nse in the constmction of a great variety of modern Engineering Work, and having found his notes extremely useful, decided to publish them,, after revising them to date, believing that a practical work, suited to the Daily Requirements of Modern Engineers, would be favorably received by the public. The rapid sale of the previous Editions, and the continued favor the Work has received, show that it has been of considerable service to Engineers. In issniug a Fourth Edition, many alterations and improvements have been made, including the following amongst other additions, viz, : New matter relating to Steam Engines—Gas Engines—Pumps—^Water Supply, etc., etc. “ The author treats every subject from the point of view of one who has collected workshop notes for application in workshop practice, rather than from the theoretical or literary aspect, and the wprk contains a great deal of that kind of information which is gained only Iy practical experience, and is seldom written in books.'’—The JBwoine^r. “ The volume is an exceedingly useful one, brimful with engineers’ notes, memoranda and rules, and well woithy of being-on every mechanical engineer's bookshelf. There is valuable information on every page. It should be in every workshop mahagbr’6 library;'^— World. • Sent, Post-paid, on Receipt of Price, by DAVID WILLIAMS. - - - Publisher and BookseQer, 96-102 Reade Street, New York.

The reputation which ttds book has so quickly won ior itself among analytical chemists will certainly be Increased by the improvements in the second edition, ffivery means has been taken to bring it up fully to the dmes, by Incorporating all the new and Improved methods, necessitating the addition of thirty pages of letterpress and nine new cuts. "This work may, in fine, be pronounced a useful sammary of a special and important department of analytical chemistry by an author of prolonged and wide practical experience.”—CTiemicaJ News, London. " Mr. Blair's is a standard work which will prove Che chief guide of the young chemist, and a frequent guide to more experienced analysts.”—27ie Iron Age New York. " AU iron chemists will find this book an exceedingly asefm laboratory companion.”—aTie Chemical Review London. " It Is thorough, accurate, and so complete, as to be practic
