"This work is written from the standpoint of the oil trade, but its perusal will be found very 

 useful by users of machinery and all who have to do with lubricants in any way." Colliery 

 guardian, 



"The properties of the different grades of mineral oil and of the animal and vegetable non- 

 drying oils are carefully described, and the author justly insists that the peculiarities of the 

 machinery on which the lubricants are to be employed must be considered almost before every- 

 thing else. . . . The chapters on grease and solidified oils, etc., are excellent." The Ironmonger.
