=Press Opinions.=

"Rich in useful diagrams as well as in hints."--_Liverpool Mercury._

"The papers are eminently practical, and go much farther into the
mysteries they describe than the title 'Hints' properly
suggests."--_Scotsman._

"The articles are apparently written by a thoroughly practical man.
As a practical guide the book will doubtless be of much
service."--_Glasgow Herald._

"So far as the practical hints in this work are concerned, it will
be useful to apprentices and students in technical schools, as it
deals mainly with the most important or difficult branches of the
plumber's craft, _viz._, joint wiping, pipe bending and lead
burning.... 'Hints' are the most useful things to an apprentice, and
there are many in this work which are not to be found in some of the
text-books."--_English Mechanic._

22 PRYME STREET, HULL, _24th November_, 1894. "Gentlemen,--Your
books to hand for which accept my best thanks, also for circulars. I
myself got one of J.W. Hart's books on Plumbing from your traveller,
and having looked through the same I can safely recommend it as
being the best book I have seen. Mr. J.W. Hart treats exhaustively
upon soldering and pipe bending, which are two of the most essential
branches in the plumbing trade."
