“ - t is the best work on Drawing that we have ever seen, and is espeeially a
text-book of Geometrical Drawing for the use of Mechanics and Schools. No
young Mechanic, such as a Machinist, Engineer, Cabinet-Maker, Millwright,
or Carpenter, should be without it.”—Scientific American.
“ 0ne of the most comprehensive works of the kind ever publishbd, and can- .
not but possess great value to builders. The style is at once elegant and sub-
stantial. ’—Pennsyloania Inquirer.
“ Whatever is said is rendered perfectly intelligible by remarkably well-
executed diagrams on steel, leäving nothing for mere vague supposition; and
the addition of an introduction to isometrical drawing, linear perspective, and
the projection of shadows, winding np with a useful index to technical terms.”
—Glasgow Mechanics' Journal.
tW The British Government has anthorized the use of this book in their
schools of art at Somerset House, London, and throughout the kingdom.
