HUTTON, Civil and Mechanical Engineer, Author of “The Poetical Engineer’s Handbook.” Sixth Edition, carefully Revised, with Additions. In One handsome Volume, medium 8vo, strongly bound. [_Just Published._ =15/0= ☞ _The Author having compiled Rules and Data for his own use in a great variety of modern engineering work, and having found his notes extremely useful, decided to publish them—revised to date—believing that a practical work, suited to the DAILY REQUIREMENTS OF MODERN ENGINEERS, would be favourably received_. “Of this edition we may repeat the appreciative remarks we made upon the first and third. Since the appearance of the latter very considerable modifications have been made, although the total number of pages remains almost the same. It is a very useful collection of rules, tables, and workshop and drawing office data.”—_The Engineer_, May 10, 1895. “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. The volume contains a great deal of that kind of information which is gained only by practical experience, and is seldom written in books.”—_The Engineer_, June 5, 1885. “The volume is an exceedingly useful one, brimful with engineer’s notes, memoranda, and rules, and well worthy of being on every mechanical engineer’s bookshelf.”—_Mechanical World._ “The information is precisely that likely to be required in practice.... The work forms a desirable addition to the library not only of the works’ manager, but of any one connected with general engineering.”—_Mining Journal._ “Brimful of useful information, stated in concise form, Mr. Hutton’s books have met a pressing want among engineers. The book must prove extremely useful to every practical man possessing a copy.”—_Practical Engineer._ THE PRACTICAL ENGINEER’S HANDBOOK. Comprising a Treatise on Modern Engines and Boilers, Marine, Locomotive, and Stationary.

HUTTON, Civil and Mechanical Engineer, Author of “The Works’ Manager’s Handbook,” “The Practical Engineer’s Handbook,” &c. With upwards of 500 Illustrations. Third Edition, Revised and much Enlarged, medium 8vo, cloth =18/0= ☞ THIS WORK _is issued in continuation of the Series of Handbooks written by the Author, viz._:—“THE WORKS’ MANAGER’S HANDBOOK” _and_ “THE PRACTICAL ENGINEER’S HANDBOOK,” _which are so highly appreciated by engineers for the practical nature of their information; and is consequently written in the same style as those works_. _The Author believes that the concentration, in a convenient form for easy reference, of such a large amount of thoroughly practical information on Steam-Boilers, will be of considerable service to those for whom it is intended, and he trusts the book may be deemed worthy of as favourable a reception as has been accorded to its predecessors._ “One of the best, if not the best, books on boilers that has ever been published. The information is of the right kind, in a simple and accessible form. So far as generation is concerned, this is, undoubtedly, the standard book on steam practice.”—_Electrical Review._ “Every detail, both in boiler design and management, is clearly laid before the reader. The volume shows that boiler construction has been reduced to the condition of one of the most exact sciences; and such a book is of the utmost value to the _fin de siècle_ Engineer and Works Manager.”—_Marine Engineer._ “There has long been room for a modern handbook on steam boilers; there is not that room now, because Mr. Hutton has filled it. It is a thoroughly practical book for those who are occupied in the construction, design, selection, or use of boilers.”—_Engineer._ “The book is of so important and comprehensive a character that it must find its way into the libraries of every one interested in boiler using or boiler manufacture if they wish to be thoroughly informed.
