“The translation by Mr. F. Thorold Dickson is unusually good; but ‘The woman’ will hardly have the popularity of ‘The saint,’ even at this second attempt.”

Follows, George Herbert. Universal dictionary of mechanical drawing. *$1. Eng. news.
6–42948.
“Mr. Follows bases his dictionary on the fundamental proposition that ‘Mechanical drawing is a language,’ with analogies to the English language, ‘for the positive conveying of exact information,’ and he defines its alphabet or lines, its words or views, and its books, or complete drawings. Numerous good examples are given of the uses and customs of the language (to continue the analogy) which are shown in 22 full page reproductions of standard drawings.”—Engin. N.
“Taken as a whole the book is a distinct step towards standardizing the usages and practice of mechanical drawing.” George O. Oriok.
