“The present (1896) edition has been brought right up to date, and is thus rendered a work to which civil engineers generally should have ready access, and to which engineers who have construction work can hardly afford to be without, but which to the younger members of the profession is invaluable, as from its pages they can learn the state to which the science of tunnelling has attained.”—Railway News.
“The estimation in which Mr. Simms’s book has been held for many years cannot be more truly expressed than in the words of the late Prof. Rankine: ‘The best source of information on the subject of tunnels is Mr. F. W. Simms’s work on Practical Tunnelling.’”—Architect.
