    be called upon to notice a volume measuring but 2½ in. by 1¾
    in., yet these dimensions faithfully represent the size of the
    handy little book before us. The volume—which contains 118
    printed pages, besides a few blank pages for memoranda—is, in
    fact, a true pocket-book, adapted for being carried in the
    waistcoat pocket, and containing a far greater amount and
    variety of information than most people would imagine could
    be compressed into so small a space.... The little volume has
    been compiled with considerable care and judgment, and we can
    cordially recommend it to our readers as a useful little pocket
    companion.”—_Engineering._

    This work is not, in any sense, an elementary treatise, or
    history of the steam engine, but is intended to describe
    examples of Fixed Steam Engines without entering into the
    wide domain of locomotive or marine practice. To this end
    illustrations will be given of the most recent arrangements
    of Horizontal, Vertical, Beam, Pumping, Winding, Portable,
    Semi-portable, Corliss, Allen, Compound, and other similar
    Engines, by the most eminent Firms in Great Britain and
    America. The laws relating to the action and precautions to be
    observed in the construction of the various details, such as
    Cylinders, Pistons, Piston-rods, Connecting-rods, Cross-heads,
    Motion-blocks, Eccentrics, Simple, Expansion, Balanced, and
    Equilibrium Slide-valves, and Valve-gearing will be minutely
    dealt with. In this connection will be found articles upon
    the Velocity of Reciprocating Parts and the Mode of Applying
    the Indicator, Heat and Expansion of Steam Governors, and the
    like. It is the writer’s desire to draw illustrations from
    every possible source, and give only those rules that present
    practice deems correct.
