ified by the result. Thanks to the conspicuous painstaking with
which Mr. Addyman has discharged his duty, and the 123 illustrations
by which the text is elucidated, the volume can hardly fail to prove
a very valuable standard work of its class. It can thus be
confidently recommended to all who are more or less practically
interested in the technology of a very important subject."--_Leicester

clear and lucid treatise on the various and numerous branches of the

opportunity a careful perusal and study of it would afford ample
