Notices of the Press.
“Every eonceivable detail of the Marine Engine, under all its 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 exist, nee which -will bear a
momgnt’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
M arine Engineers.” - Engineer.
