*' No more enduring Memorial of Professor Rankine could be devised than the publica- 

 tion of these papers in an accessible form. . . . The Collection is most valuable on 

 account of the nature of his discoveries, and the beauty and completeness of his analysis. 

 . . . The Volume exceeds in importance any vs^ork in the same department published 

 in our time. " — A rchitect.

SEATON (A. E., Lecturer on Marine Engineering 



to the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, and Member of the Institute of 

 Naval Architects) : 



A MANUAL OF MARINE ENGINEERING ; Compnsing the 

 Designing, Construction, and Working of Marine Machinery. With 

 numerous Illustrations. Third Edition. Demy 8vo. Cloth, 18/. 



This Work has been prepared to supply the existing want of a Text-Book showing the 

 application of Theoretical Principles to the Design and Construction of Marine 

 Machinery — as determined by the experience of leading Engineers, and carried out in 

 the most recent successful practice. It is intended for use by Draughtsmen and practical 

 Engineers, as well as by Instructors and Students in Marine Engineering, and is fully 

 illustrated. 



GENERAL CONTENTS. 



I. Principles of M.\rine Propul- III. Details of Marine Engines. 



sion. IV. Propellers. 



II. Principles of Steam Engineer- V. Boilers. 



iNG. • VI. Miscellaneous. 



Opinions of the Press. 



" The important subject of Marine Engineering is here treated with the thoroughness 

 that it requires. No department has escaped attention. . . . Gives the results of 

 much close study and practical work." — Engineerittg. 



" By far the best M.^nual in existence. . . . Gives a complete account of the 

 methods of solving, with the utmost possible economy, the problems before the Marine 

 Engineer." — AthtJiceum. 



" In the three-fold capacity of enabling a Student to learn how to design, construct, 

 and work a modern Marine Steam-Engine, Mr. Seaton's Manual has no rival as regards 

 comprehensiveness of purpose aud lucidity of treatment." — Times. 



" The Student, Draughtsman, and Engineer will find this work the most valuable 

 Handbook of Reference on the Marine Engine now in existence." — Marine Engineer.
