Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Galloupe's General Index to Engineering Periodicals, From 1888 to 1892, Inclusive, Vol. 2: Comprising Engineering, Railroads, Science, Manufactures and Trade
Progress in the development of material resources, in recent years, has created a large and increasing volume of engineering literature in periodicals which contain valuable papers and informa tion, much of which is too recent, or fragmentary in character, to be found in books, or elsewhere. This work is designed to make accessible to engineers in all branches of the profession, to special investigators, librarians, editors and others, the more important papers and articles contained in leading American and English periodicals during the last five years. To keep the list from becoming unwieldy, it was decided to limit, besides the period covered, the number of periodicals, and with these restrictions the compiler has selected each reference given by personal examination of the articles in the files. The index is by subjects, alphabetically arranged, and makes available information now practically buried in the mass of engi neering literature, or only to be extracted by the aid of some one hundred and fifty indices, and the loss of much time.
