DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHrLOSOPHY OF THE STEAM- 

 ENGINE. 



By Prof. R. H. Thurston 12mo, cloth, $0 75 



"This small book of forty-eight page?, prepared with the care and pre- 

 cision one would expect from the scholarly Director of the Sibley College of 

 Engineering, contains all the popular information that the general student 

 would want, and at the same time a succinct account covering so much 

 ground as to be of great value to the specialist."— PwMc Opinion. 

 A MANUAL OF STEAM BOILERS, THEIR DESIGNS, CON- 

 STRUCTION, AND OPERATION. 

 For Technical Schools and Engineers. By Prof. R. H. Thurston. (183 



engravings in text.) Second edition 8vo. cloth, 5 00 



" We know of no other treatise on this subject that covers the ground so 

 thoroughly as this, and it has the further obvious advantage ol being a new 

 and fresh work, based on the most recent data and cognizant of the latest 

 discoveries and devices in steam boiler construction." — Mechanical Neivs. 

 STEAM-BOILER EXPLOSIONS IN THEORY AND IN PRAC- 

 TICE. 



Containing Causes of— Preventives— Emergencies— Low Water— Con- 

 sequences— Manag'eraent — Safety— Incrustation — Experimental In- 

 vestigations, etc., etc., etc. By R. H. Thurston, LL.D., Dr. Eng., 

 Director of Sibley College, Cornell University. With many illus- 

 trations 12mo, cloth, 1 50 



"Prof. Thurston has had exceptional facilities for investigating the 

 Causes of Boiler Explosions, and throughout this work there will be found 

 matter of peculiar interest to practical ■mm.'"— American Machinist. 



"It is a work that might well be in the hands of every one having to do 

 with steam boilers, either in design or use." — Engineering News. 

 A HAND BOOK OF ENGINE AND BOILER TRIALS, AND 



THE USE OF THE INDICATOR AND THE BRAKE. 

 By R. H. Thurston, Director of Sibley College, Cornell University. 

 Second edition revised 5 00 



" Taken altogether, this book is one which every Engineer will find of 

 value, containing, as it does, much information in regard to Engine and 

 Boiler Trials which has heretofore been available only in the form of scat- 

 tered papers in the transactions of engineeriiig societies, pamphlet reports, 

 note-books, etc."— ^ai^?'oac? Gazette.

8vo, cloth, 1 00 



" Mr. Thurston's book is an admirably useful one, and the very diflaculty 

 and unfamiliarity of the Metric Sj^stem renders such a volume as this almost 

 indispensable to Mechanics, Engineers, Students, and in fact all classes of 

 people."— J/<?cAa/2icaiJ News.

 lation of the work of Carnot. You have rendered tribute to the founder of 

 the science of thermodynamics in a manner that will be appreciated by the 

 whole French people."
