&quot;Every conceivable detail of the Marine Engine, tinder all its various 

 forms, is profusely, and we must add, admirably illustrated by a multitude 

 of engravings, selected from the best and most modern practice of the first 

 Marine Engineers of the day. The chapter on Condensers is peculiarly valu 

 able. In one word, there is no other work in existence which will bear a 

 moment s comparison with it as an exponent of the skill, talent and practical 

 experience to which is due the splendid reputation enjoyed by many British 

 Marine Engineers.&quot; Engineer. 



&quot; This very comprehensive work, which was issued in Monthly parts, has 

 just been completed. It contains large and full drawings and copious de
