" A thoroughly practical work, and every question of the many in relation to iron 

 shipping which admit of diversity of opinion, or have various and conflicting personal 

 interests attached to them, is treated with sober and impartial wisdom and good sense. 

 . . . . As good a volume for the instruction of the pupil or student of iron naval 

 aichitecture as can be found in any language." — Practical Mechanics' Joiirnal. 



** A veiy elaborate work. . . . It forms a most valuable addition to the history 

 of iron shipbuilding, while its having been prepared by one who has made the subject 

 his study for many years, and whose qualifications have been repeatedly recognised, 

 will recommend it as one of practical utility to all interested in shipbuilding." — Army 

 and Navy Gazette. 



" Mr. Grantham's work is of great interest. . . . It is also valuable as a record 

 of the progress of iron shipbuilding. ... It will, we are confident, command an 

 extensive circulation among shipbuilders in general. . . . By order of the Board 

 of Admiralty, the work will form the text-book on which the examination in iron ship- 

 building of candidates for promotion in the dockyards will be mainly based." —

 of elementary knowledge, admirably and systematically arranged, and presented in 

 neat and handy form." — Iron. 



" The best small technological dictionar3' in the language." — Architect. 



"A comprehensive and accurate compendium. Author, editor, and publishers de- 

 serve high commendations for producing such a useful work. We can warmly recom- 

 mend such a dictionary as a standard work of reference to our subscribers. Every 

 ironmonger should procure it^ — no engineer should be without it — builders and archi-* 

 tects must admire it — metallurgists and archaeologists would profit by it." — Iron- 

 vionger. 



" The absolute accuracy of a work of this character can only be judged of after 

 extensive consultation, and from our examination it appears very correct and very 

 complete." — Mining yournal. 



" There is no need now to speak of the excellence of this work ; it received the ap- 

 proval of the community long ago. Edited now by Mr. Robert Hunt, and published 

 in a cheap, handy form, it will be of the utmost service as a book of reference scarcely 

 to be exceeded in value." — Scotsman.

 their stokers to do the same, and see that the latter do it, boiler explosions would 

 become sensations by their rarity." — English Mechanic,
