 Economical Conversion of Timber. (Being a Companion Volume to " Wood- 

 working Machinery.") By M. Powis Bale, A.M. Inst. C.E., M.I.M.E. 

 With numerous Illustrations. Crown 8vo, io5. 6d. cloth. 



" The author is favourably known by his former work on 'Woodworking Machinery,' of which 

 we were able to speak approvingly. This is a companion volume, in which the administration of 

 a large sawing establishment is discussed, and the subject examined from a financial standpoint. 

 Hence the size, shape, order, and disposition of sawmills and the like are gone into in detai', 

 and the course of the timber is traced from its reception to its delivery in its converted state. 

 ■\\'e could not desire a more complete or practical treatise." — Builder. 



" We highly recommend Mr. Bale's work to the attention and perusal of all those who are en- 

 gaged in the art of wood conversion, or who are about building or remodelling saw-mills on im- 

 proved principles." — Bidlding' Xeics. 



"Will be found of much value by that special class of readers for whose information it is de- 

 signed. We recommend the book to those about to construct or to manage saw-mills." — Athenceitm.
