“The author treats every subject from the point of view of one who has collected workshop notes for application in workshop practice, rather than from the theoretical or literary aspect. The volume contains a great deal of that kind of information which is gained only by practical experience, and is seldom written in books.”—The Engineer, June 5, 1885.
“The volume is an exceedingly useful one, brimful with engineer’s notes, memoranda, and rules, and well worthy of being on every mechanical engineer’s bookshelf.”—Mechanical World.
“The information is precisely that likely to be required in practice.... The work forms a desirable addition to the library not only of the works’ manager, but of any one connected with general engineering.”—Mining Journal.
“Brimful of useful information, stated in concise form, Mr. Hutton’s books have met a pressing want among engineers. The book must prove extremely useful to every practical man possessing a copy.”—Practical Engineer.

☞ This Work is designed as a companion to the Author’s “Works’ Manager’s Handbook.” It possesses many new and original features, and contains, like its predecessor, a quantity of matter not originally intended for publication, but collected by the Author for his own use in the construction of a great variety of Modern Engineering Work.
The information is given in a condensed and concise form, and is illustrated by upwards of 370 Woodcuts; and comprises a quantity of tabulated matter of great value to all engaged in designing, constructing, or estimating for Engines, Boilers, and other Engineering Work.
“We have kept it at hand for several weeks, referring to it as occasion arose, and we have not on a single occasion consulted its pages without finding the information of which we were in quest.”—Athenæum.
