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  valuable.
  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.
