Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Engineering Papers
In connection with all subjects there are many points which it is impossible to touch upon when reading a paper. Statements involving numerical results, which may be of great value, are very uninteresting and generally entirely fail to command the attention of an audience; some of these closely bearing on the subject-matter have been introduced at the end of each paper, along with such other explanations as have seemed necessary, and it is trusted they will render the Whole of interest to engineering students.
The opinions elicited in the discussions are appended, with the author's replies fully worked out by subsequent thought and experience.
Should this volume meet with the same reception from the public as the papers have already received from the scientific press, and from those to whom they have been addressed, the author will feel that his slight endeavours to promote engineering science have been amply rewarded.
