Engineer Snrveyor-in-Chief to the Board of Trade. 



* # * In the New Issue the subject-matter has been considerably extended ; 

 Tables have been added for Pressures up to 200 Ibs. per square inch, and some 

 of the Tables have been altered, besides which new ones and other matter 

 have been introduced, which have been specially prepared and computed for 

 the SECOND EDITION. 



"Very unlike any of the numerous treatises on Boilers which have preceded it. ... Really 

 useful. . . . Contains an ENORMOUS QUANTITY OP INFORMATION arranged in a very convenient 

 form. . . . Those who have to design boilers will find that they can settle the dimensions for any 

 given pressure with almost no calculation with its aid. ... A MOST USEFUL VOLUME . . . 

 supplying information to be had nowhere else." The Engineer. 



"As a handbook of rules, formulae, tables, <fcc., relating to materials, scantlings, and pressures, this 

 work will prove MOST USEFUL. The name of the Author is a sufficient guarantee for its accuracy. It 

 will save engineers, inspectors, and draughtsmen a vast amount of calculation." Nature. 



" Mr. Traill has done a very useful and unpretentious piece of work. Rules and tables are given in 

 a way simple enough to be intelligible to the most unscientific engineer." Saturday Review. 



" By such an authority cannot but prove a welcome addition to the literature of the subject. In the 

 hands of the practical engineer or boilermaker, its value as a ready, reliable, and widely comprehensive 

 book of reference, must prove almost inestimable. . . . Will rank high as a standard work on the 

 subject. We can stronzly recommend it as being the MOST COMPLETE, eminently practical work on the 

 subject." Marine Engineer. 



"To the engineer and practical boiler-maker it will prove INVALUABLE. Copious and carefully 

 worked-out tables will save much of the calculating drudgery. . . . Many exceedingly useful and 

 practical hints are given with regard to the treatment of iron and steel, which are exceedingly valuable, 

 and the outcome of a wide experience. The tables in all probability are the most exhaustive yet 

 published. . . . Certainly deserves a place on the shelf in the drawing office of every boiler shop." 

 Practical Engineer. 



"We give it a hearty welcome. . . . A handy pocket-book. . . . Our readers cannot do better 

 than purchase a copy. . . . Cheap at five times the price. The intelligent engineer can make a 

 sale investment that will yield him a rich and satisfactory return." Engineers' Gazette. 



" From the author's well-known character for thoroughness and exactness, there is every reason to 

 believe that the results given in the tables may be relied on. . . . The great experience of the author 

 iu all that relates to boiler construction constitutes him an authority that no one need be ashamed of 

 quoting, and a guide as safe as any man in Britain." Shipping World.
