“One of the most fascinating books of its kind, superior in content, it seems to us, to either ‘The filigree ball’ or ‘The millionaire baby,’ and as absorbing in the reading as those or any of their predecessors.”

Greene, Charles Ezra. Structural mechanics, comprising the strength and resistance of materials and elements of structural design; with examples and problems. *$2.50. Wiley.
“Published in 1897, this book has become well known. It stands intermediate between the ordinary textbook on Mechanics of materials and such books as Johnson’s Framed structures.... The book is evidently framed for use; and one who has studied mechanics and has the general fundamentals fixed in his mind will, in the shortest time, find out what to do, or the information necessary for action.... The new edition, now under review, contains 240 pages, whereas the 1897 (first) edition contained 268 pages; this, too, notwithstanding the insertion of explanatory and introductory sentences in various parts of the text.”—Engin.
