It is very difficult to hit upon any mechanical engineering subject concerning which this work supplies no information, and the excellent index at the end adds to its utility. In one word, it is an exceedingly handy and efficient tool, possessed of which the engineer will be saved many a wearisome calculation, or yet more wearisome hunt through various text-books and treatises, and, as such, we can heartily recommend it to our readers.ââ_The Engineer._ âIt would be found difficult to compress more matter within a similar compass, or produce a book of 650 pages which should be more compact or convenient for pocket reference.... Will be appreciated by mechanical engineers of all classes.ââ_Practical Engineer._ MR. HUTTONâS PRACTICAL HANDBOOKS. THE WORKSâ MANAGERâS HANDBOOK. Comprising Modern Rules, Tables, and Data.

[_Just Published._ =15/0= â _The Author having compiled Rules and Data for his own use in a great variety of modern engineering work, and having found his notes extremely useful, decided to publish themârevised to dateâbelieving that a practical work, suited to the DAILY REQUIREMENTS OF MODERN ENGINEERS, would be favourably received_. âOf this edition we may repeat the appreciative remarks we made upon the first and third. Since the appearance of the latter very considerable modifications have been made, although the total number of pages remains almost the same. It is a very useful collection of rules, tables, and workshop and drawing office data.ââ_The Engineer_, May 10, 1895. âThe author treats every subject from the point of view of one who has collected workshop notes for application in workshop practice, rather than from the theoretical or literary aspect. The volume contains a great deal of that kind of information which is gained only by practical experience, and is seldom written in books.ââ_The Engineer_, June 5, 1885. âThe volume is an exceedingly useful one, brimful with engineerâs notes, memoranda, and rules, and well worthy of being on every mechanical engineerâs bookshelf.ââ_Mechanical World._ âThe information is precisely that likely to be required in practice.... The work forms a desirable addition to the library not only of the worksâ manager, but of any one connected with general engineering.ââ_Mining Journal._ âBrimful of useful information, stated in concise form, Mr. Huttonâs books have met a pressing want among engineers. The book must prove extremely useful to every practical man possessing a copy.ââ_Practical Engineer._ THE PRACTICAL ENGINEERâS HANDBOOK. Comprising a Treatise on Modern Engines and Boilers, Marine, Locomotive, and Stationary. And containing a large collection of Rules and Practical Data relating to Recent Practice in Designing and Constructing all kinds of Engines, Boilers, and other Engineering work.

HUTTON, Civil and Mechanical Engineer, Author of âThe Worksâ Managerâs Handbook for Engineers,â &c. With upwards of 370 Illustrations. Fifth Edition, Revised with Additions. Medium 8vo, nearly 500 pp., strongly bound. [_Just Published._ =18/0= â _This Work is designed as a companion to the Authorâs_ âWORKSâ MANAGERâS HANDBOOK.â _It possesses many new and original features, and contains, like its predecessor, a quantity of matter not originally intended for publication, but collected by the Author for his own use in the construction of a great variety of_ MODERN ENGINEERING WORK. _The information is given in a condensed and concise form, and is illustrated by upwards of 370 Woodcuts; and comprises a quantity of tabulated matter of great value to all engaged in designing, constructing, or estimating for ENGINES, BOILERS, and OTHER ENGINEERING WORK._ âWe have kept it at hand for several weeks, referring to it as occasion arose, and we have not on a single occasion consulted its pages without finding the information of which we were in quest.ââ_AthenÃ¦um._ âA thoroughly good practical handbook, which no engineer can go through without learning something that will be of service to him.ââ_Marine Engineer._ âAn excellent book of reference for engineers, and a valuable text-book for students of engineering.ââ_Scotsman._ âThis valuable manual embodies the results and experience of the leading authorities on mechanical engineering.ââ_Building News._ âThe author has collected together a surprising quantity of rules and practical data, and has shown much judgment in the selections he has made.... There is no doubt that this book is one of the most useful of its kind published, and will be a very popular compendium.ââ_Engineer._ âA mass of information set down in simple language, and in such a form that it can be easily referred to at any time. The matter is uniformly good and well chosen, and is greatly elucidated by the illustrations. The book will find its way on to most engineersâ shelves, where it will rank as one of the most useful books of reference.ââ_Practical Engineer._ âFull of useful information, and should be found on the office shelf of all practical engineers.ââ_English Mechanic._ STEAM BOILER CONSTRUCTION.

HUTTON, Civil and Mechanical Engineer, Author of âThe Worksâ Managerâs Handbook,â âThe Practical Engineerâs Handbook,â &c. With upwards of 500 Illustrations. Third Edition, Revised and much Enlarged, medium 8vo, cloth =18/0= â THIS WORK _is issued in continuation of the Series of Handbooks written by the Author, viz._:ââTHE WORKSâ MANAGERâS HANDBOOKâ _and_ âTHE PRACTICAL ENGINEERâS HANDBOOK,â _which are so highly appreciated by engineers for the practical nature of their information; and is consequently written in the same style as those works_. _The Author believes that the concentration, in a convenient form for easy reference, of such a large amount of thoroughly practical information on Steam-Boilers, will be of considerable service to those for whom it is intended, and he trusts the book may be deemed worthy of as favourable a reception as has been accorded to its predecessors._ âOne of the best, if not the best, books on boilers that has ever been published. The information is of the right kind, in a simple and accessible form. So far as generation is concerned, this is, undoubtedly, the standard book on steam practice.ââ_Electrical Review._ âEvery detail, both in boiler design and management, is clearly laid before the reader. The volume shows that boiler construction has been reduced to the condition of one of the most exact sciences; and such a book is of the utmost value to the _fin de siÃ¨cle_ Engineer and Works Manager.ââ_Marine Engineer._ âThere has long been room for a modern handbook on steam boilers; there is not that room now, because Mr. Hutton has filled it. It is a thoroughly practical book for those who are occupied in the construction, design, selection, or use of boilers.ââ_Engineer._ âThe book is of so important and comprehensive a character that it must find its way into the libraries of every one interested in boiler using or boiler manufacture if they wish to be thoroughly informed.

Fcap. 8vo, nearly 500 pp., with 8 Plates and upwards of 250 Illustrative Diagrams, strongly bound for workshop or pocket wear and tear =6/0= âIn its modernised form Huttonâs âTempletonâ should have a wide sale, for it contains much valuable information which the mechanic will often find of use, and not a few tables and notes which he might look for in vain in other works. This modernised edition will be appreciated by all who have learned to value the original editions of âTempleton.âââ_English Mechanic._ âIt has met with great success in the engineering workshop, as we can testify; and there are a great many men who, in a great measure, owe their rise in life to this little book.ââ_Building News._ âThis familiar text-bookâwell known to all mechanics and engineersâis of essential service to the every-day requirements of engineers, millwrights, and the various trades connected with engineering and building. The new modernised edition is worth its weight in gold.ââ_Building News._ (Second Notice.) âThis well-known and largely-used book contains information, brought up to date, of the sort so useful to the foreman and draughtsman. So much fresh information has been introduced as to constitute it practically a new book.
