Earthworks for Railways, Canals, &c., with a
Table of Proportional Parts, by Francis Bashforth,
M.A., Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, in
8vo, cloth, with mahogany slide, 4s.

"This little volume should become the handbook of every person whose duties require even occasional calculations of this nature; were it only that it is more extensively applicable than any other in existence, we could cordially recommend it to our readers, but when they learn that the use of it involves only half the labour of all other Tables constituted for the same purpose, we offer the strongest of all recommendations, that founded on the value of time.". Mechanics' Magazine.

for Civil and Mechanical Engineers, by Guildford
L. Molesworth, Member Institute Civil Engineers,
Chief Resident Engineer Ceylon Railway, eighth

edition, revised and improved, 32mo, roan, 4s. 6d. "Mr. Molesworth has done the profession a considerable and lasting benefit by publishing his very excellent Pocket-Book of Engineering Formula. What strikes us first, is, the very convenient size and form of the book adopted by the author; and next, in glancing over its contents, we are pleased to find many really useful things not found elsewhere in any Engineering Pocket-Book. Mr. Molesworth's treatment of Hydraulics and Hydro-Dynamics, and Motive Power generally, is excellent. To the latter branch of his subject, Mr. Molesworth has evidently devoted considerable attention, and his collection of formula will be found most useful, But to stop to detail everything that is good and useful in this book. would be nearly equal to reprinting a list of its contents."Artizan, April, 1863.

"Mr. Truran's work is really the only one deserving the name of a treatise upon and text-book of the Iron Manufacture of the Kingdom. It gives a most comprehensive and minute exposition of present practice, if the term may be applied to Iron Manufacture as distinguished from strictly professional subjects. The author does not go out of his way to theorise upon how Iron should or may be made, but he describes how it is made in all the Iron Districts of the Kingdom."-Engineer, December 26, 1862.
