Notices of the Press. 



"Every conceivable detail of the Marine Engine» nnder all iis various 

 forms, is profusely, and we must add, admirably illustrated by a multitude 

 of engravings, selected from the best and most modern practice of the first 

 Marine Engineers of the day. The chapter on Condensers is peculiarly valu- 

 able. In one word, there is no other work in existence which will bear a 

 moment's comparison with it as an exponent of the skill, talent and practical 

 experience to which is due the splendid reputation enjoyed by many British 

 Marine Engineers."— .Bng'iTieeT'.

 neering." — American Artisan.
