“A perfect encyclopædia of the steam engine and its details, and one which must take a permanent place in English drawing-offices and workshops.”—A Foreman Pattern-maker.
“This is an excellent book, and should be in the hands of all who are interested in the construction and design of medium-sized stationary engines.... A careful study of its contents and the arrangement of the sections leads to the conclusion that there is probably no other book like it in this country. The volume aims at showing the results of practical experience, and it certainly may claim a complete achievement of this idea.”—Nature.
“There can be no question as to its value. We cordially commend it to all concerned in the design and construction of the steam engine.”—Mechanical World.
