    ENGINEERING AND MECHANICS. Works by I. J. MACQUORN RAHKINE, C.E, LL.D, F.R.S, Late Regius Professor of Civil Engineering in, the University of Glasgow. I. A Manual of Applied Mechanics: Comprising the Principles of statics and Cinematics, and Theory of Structures, Mechanism, and Machines. With numerous Diagrams. Crown Svo, cloth, 12s. 6d.

With numerous Tables and Illustrations. Crown Svo, cloth, 16s. Thirteenth Edition. Far surpasses in merit every existing work of the kind. As a 'Manual' for the hands of the pro- fessional Civil Engineer it is sufficient and unrivalled; and even wlieu we say this, we fall short of that high appreciation of Dr. Eankine's labours which we should like to express.—The Engineer. III. A Manual of Machinery and Miliwork: Comprising the Geometry, Motions, Work, Strength, Construction, and Objects of Machines, &c. Illustrated with nearly 300 Woodcuts. Crown Svo, cloth, 12s. 6d. Fourth Edition. Fully maintains the high reputation which. Professor Rankine enjoys as a scientific writer; higher praise it is difficult to award to any book. ... It cannot fail to be a lantern to the feet of every fingineer.—Tlie Engineer. iV. A Manual of the Steam-Engine and other Prime Movers: With numerous Tables and Illustrations, and a Diagram of the Mechanical Properties of Steam. Cro^Vn Svo, cloth, 12s. Gd. Ninth Edition. V. Useful Rules and Tables: For Architects, Builders, Car- penters, Coachbuilders, Engineers, Engravers, Founders, Mechanics, Ship- builders, Surveyors, Wheelwrights, &c. Crown Svo, cloth, 93.

From the Transactions and Pro- ceedings of the Royal and other Scientific and Philosojihical Societies, and the Scientific Journals. With Memoir of the Author, by P. G.
