A Reader of Scientific and | Technical Spanish | for | colleges and | technical 

 schools I with I vocabulary and notes | by | Cornelio DeWitt Willcox | 

 Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army | [3 lines] New York | 

 Sturgis & Walton | Company | 1913 | Cloth, pp. 1-588, $1.75. 



The book is a collection of extracts from Spanish textbooks, 

 reports, and bulletins. Although designed primarily for students 

 of American colleges and technical schools who intend to practice 

 the engineering profession in Spanish-speaking America, its 

 field of usefulness extends to scientists and technical men in 

 practice in the Philippines. 



The subject matter is composed of nineteen chapters, dealing 

 with physics, chemistry, electricity, mining, automobiles, aero- 

 nautics, submarines, etc. The book is well illustrated. 



The author's good choice of materials, the variety of subjects, 

 and the simplicity of style make the book most valuable to 

 anyone desiring to familiarize himself with Spanish technical 

 terms.
