 We can heartily commend the work as a valuable handbook on the subject on which it 

 treats." — Journal of Applied Science. 



"The fact of Mr, Napier's Treatise having reached a fifth edition is good evidence 

 of an appreciation of the Author's mode of treating his subject. . . A very useful 



and practical little Manual." — Iron. 



*' The Fifth Edition has all the advantages of a new work, and of a proved and tried 

 friend. Mr. Napier is well known for the carefulness and accuracy with which he writes.
