Bertin, L. E. Marine boilers: their construction and working, dealing more especially with tubulous boilers; tr. and ed. by Leslie S. Robertson, with a new chapter on “Liquid fuel” by Engineer-Lieutenant H. C. Anstey and a preface by Sir William White. *$5. Van Nostrand.
A second edition of this work by a Frenchman appears with such revision and extension as the strides in marine practice, make necessary. The editor says that “progress has been rather in the direction of concentrating practice, along well acknowledged lines, than by the introduction of any noticeable departure in the design of boilers. Considerable development has taken place in the application of steam turbines to marine propulsion, but it has not called for any change in the types of boilers already in use.” A notable addition to the volume is a chapter on “Liquid Fuel.”

“On the whole, the book is to be commended as the most satisfactory treatise on water tube boilers from the historical and constructive standpoint of which the reviewer has knowledge.” Wm. Kent.
