Opinions of the Press. 



" Mr. Humber's ' Record of Modern Engineering' is a work of peculiar value, as 

 well to those who design as to those who study the art of engineering construction. 

 It embodies a vast amount of practical information in the form of full descriptions and 

 working drawings of all the most recent and noteworthy engineering works. The 

 plates are excellently lithographed, and the present volume of the ' Record ' is not a 

 whit behind its predecessors." Mechanics' Magazine. 



"We gladly welcome another year's issue of this valuable publication from the able 

 pen of Mr. Humber. The accuracy and general excellence of this work are wefl 

 known, while its usefulness in giving the measurements and details of some of the 

 latest examples of engineering, as carried out by the most eminent men in the profes- 

 sion, cannot be too highly prized." Artizan. 



" The volume forms a valuable companion to those which have preceded it, and 

 cannot fail to prove a most important addition to every engineering library. " Mining 

 Journal. 



" No one of Mr. Humber's volumes was bad ; all were worth their cost, from the 

 mass of plates from well-executed drawings which they contained. In this respect, 

 perhaps, this last volume is the most valuable that the author has produced. "Prac- 

 tical Mechanics' Jcurnal.
