Press Opinions. 



"This is a very valuable book, translated from the German, discussing in detail anti-fouling 

 and anti-corrosive paints." British Mercury. 



"Will be of great service to paint manufacturers, engineering contractors, ironfounders, 

 shipbuilders and others." Engineer and Iron Trades Advertiser. 



"The book before us deals with the subject in a manner at once practical and scientific, and 

 is well worthy of the attention of all builders, architects and engineers." The Builder. 



"The book is very readable and full of valuable information, and bearing in mind the 

 importance of the subject treated, it is one which engineers will be well advised to procure at 

 an early date." Railway Engineer. 



"The author goes fully into his subject, and the translator has been successful in repro- 

 ducing in another language what he has to say. There are given in the text numerous 

 illustrations of the rusting of iron, prepared in the course of a series of personal experiments 

 on the formation of rust." Journal of Gas Lighting. 



"This work is a very elaborate and useful record of the various phenomena in connection 

 with the corrosion of iron and its protection against corrosion. . . . The book is an exceed- 

 ingly useful record of what has been done in connection with iron preservation, and will 

 undoubtedly prove to be of much value to railway engineers, shipowners, etc." Fairplay. 



" Herr Andes' book, written purely from a scientific standpoint, will be particularly useful 

 to iron manufacturers, shipbuilders and shipowners. . . . The book is beautifully printed on 

 good paper, and its appearance does credit to the publishers ; the work of translation has been 

 remarkably well done, the language bearing none of those irritating traces of Teutonism which 

 disfigure so many English versions of German technical works." The Ironmonger. 



"This knowledge is conveyed with characteristic German thoroughness in this useful work 

 of Herr Andes, which loses nothing of clearness in Mr. Salter's excellent translation. The 

 causes of rust formation are examined, the proper methods of cleansing the ironwork detailed, 

 and the constitution and application of suitable preventative coverings explained. . . . The 

 book is a welcome contribution to technological literature, and will be found worthy of the 

 careful study of all who are professionally engaged in the arrangement or superintendence of 

 the class of work dealt with." Western Daily Mercury. 



"The author explains the nature of rust and its formation, and the text is illustrated from 

 about fifty photographs. An immense amount of carefully arranged information follows as to 

 the best methods of applying anti-corrosive substances and the various pigments most effi- 

 cacious for use under all circumstances. The author has evidently thoroughly investigated and 

 mastered the subject of iron corrosion, its cause and its prevention ; and we regard his book as 

 of the greatest importance to bridge-builders and makers and users of structural iron and 

 steel. The book is illustrated throughout and is admirably indexed and arranged." Iron and 

 Steel Trades Journal. 



"It is of the utmost importance to have reliable information on the various so-called infal- 

 lible anti-corrosive paints which flood the market, and the large experience which evidently had 

 been gained by the author in relation to the subject enables him to present in the work under 

 notice an important contribution towards the solution of the problem involved, which is bound 

 to prove extremely serviceable not only to paint manufacturers, but to engineers, contractors, 

 ironfounders, shipbuilders and others. The subject is thoroughly dealt with in all its various 

 phases, and the vast fund of information afforded not only regarding rust formation and its 

 prevention, but in reference to paints, yarnishes, oils and pigments generally, should prove very 

 valuable to the large class interested, while additional importance is given to the book by the 

 numerous illustrations which were prepared by the author in the course of a series of personal 

 experiments on the formation of rust." Builders' Reporter.
