ly clear to the non-scientific
reader how the particular bit of machinery works and what its work
really is. Delicate instruments, calculating machines, workshop
machinery, portable tools, the pedrail, motors ashore and afloat,
fire engines, automatic machines, sculpturing machines--these are a
few of the chapters which crowd this splendid
volume."--_Educational News._

"It is difficult to make descriptions of machinery and mechanism
interesting, but Mr. Williams has the enviable knack of doing so,
and it is hardly possible to open this book at any page without
turning up something which you feel you must read; and then you
cannot stop till you come to the end of the
chapter."--_Electricity._

"This book is full of interest and instruction, and is a welcome
addition to Messrs. Seeley and Company's Romance Series."--_Leeds
Mercury._

"A book of absorbing interest for the boy with a mechanical turn,
and indeed for the general reader."--_Educational Times._

"An instructive and well-written volume."--_Hobbies._
