" It is the best work on Drawing that we have ever seen, and is especially a 

 text-book of Geometrical Drawing for the uae of Mechanics and Schools. No 

 young Mechanic, such as a Machinist, Engineer, Cabinet-Maker, Millwright, 

 or Carpenter, should be without it." Scientific American. 



" One of the most comprehensive works of the kind ever published, and can- 

 not but possess great value to builders. The style is at once elegant and sub- 

 stantial. " Pennsylvania Inquirer. 



" Whatever is said is rendered perfectly intelligible by remarkably well- 

 executed diagrams on steel, leaving nothing for mere vague supposition ; and 

 the addition of an introduction to isometrical drawing, linear perspective, and 

 the projection of shadows, winding up with a useful index to technical terms." 

 Glasgow Mechanics" Journal.
