Press Opinions. 



"Rich in useful diagrams as well as in hints." LircrpO"! Mercury. 



"The papers are eminently practical, and go much farther into the mysteries they descril 

 than the title ' Hints' properly suggests." Scotsmen:. 



" The articles are apparently written by a thoroughly practical man. A* u practical guic 

 'the book will doubtless be of much service." Glasgow Herald. 



"A well got-up and well-done practical book. It is freely illustrated and is a reliable help ii 

 respect of some of the most awkward work the young plumber has to perform." The It 

 monger. 



" So far as the practical hints in this work are concerned, it will be useful to apprentices and 

 students in technical schools, as it deals mainly with the most important or difficult branches 

 of the plumber's craft, viz., joint wiping, pipe bending and lead burning. ... ' Hints* are 

 most useful things to an apprentice, and there are many in this work which are not to be fot 

 in some of the text-books." English Mechanic. 



" It is a book for the intelligent operative first of all, not a mere manual of instruction 

 the beginner, nor yet a scientific treatise on the whole art of sanitary plumbing. The sp 

 subject with which it deals is joint-making, the most important branch of the operative's \ 

 and into this topic the author goes with a thoroughness that is full of suggestion to even the 

 most experienced workman. There is no one who has to do with plumbing but could read the 

 book with profit." Ironmongery. 



"22 PRYME STREET. HULL, 'Mtk November, 1894. 



"Gentlemen, Your books to hand for which accept my best thanks, also for circulars, 

 myself got one of J. W. Hart's books on Plumbing from your traveller, and having looked 

 through the same I can safely recommend it as being the best book I have seen. Mr. J. W. 

 Hart treats exhaustively upon soldering and pipe bending, which are two of the most essential 

 'branches in the plumbing trade."'

Press Opinions. 



" Air. Brown is clearly a master of his craft, and has also the immense advantage of being 

 able to convey his instructions in a manner at once clear and concise." Leicester f\'St. 



"A thoroughly practical little treatise on the subject in all its branches, and one which 

 should be in the hands of every tradesman or amateur who has lacquering to do." /; /.>/: Hnilder.

 tively few words the most scientific and economical methods of treating brass ware. . . . The

 towns, who at spring time and during the redecorating of a house undertake the work of 

 irenovating t'le brass fittings." Hardivareman.
