We have therefore explained special terms where we have thought it convenient to use them, and where the technically educated student would not need an explanation.

HUTTON, CIVIL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER. The Author having been in the habit of compiling Rules and Data for his own use in the construction of a ^eat variety of modem 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 Modem 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 issuing 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. Any book published sent, postpaid, on receipt of price by DATID \¥IIaIaTAM».
