“A collection of nearly 600 specific problems or exercises in the strength of materials ... [which] confines itself strictly to the statement of problems, and with one exception, eight pages on the design of riveted joints, avoids explanatory interjections.”—Engin. N.
“In the absence of either explanation or cautionary reference, the student is likely to go astray, even when the book is being administered by a teacher. Regardless of this, however, we welcome the appearance of such a collection of problems.”

Not so much a biography as a characterization. The conditions under which Lee lived and worked and the results he achieved are outlined, as well as his ideals, motives, genius and character. The author says “It is my distinctive purpose to exhibit the life of our hero in those critical and all-pervading relations which constitute the abiding test of true greatness.”
