Railways, and Agriculture. With Practical Instructions for

the Manufacture and Management of Engines of every Glass.

**■ In oflTering to the American public a reprint of a work ^m tbe Bteam Engine so deservedly successful, and so long considered standard, the Publisbers bave not tbought it necessary that it sbould be an exact copy of the Englisb édition. . There were some détails in which tbey tbought it could be improved and better adapted to tbe use of American Engineers. On tbls aocoùnt the size of tbe page bas been increased to a f ull 12mo. to admit of larger illustrations, whicb, in uie English édition, are often on too small a scale, and some of tbe illustrations tbemselves bave been supplied by others equally applicable, more récent, and to us more familiar ezamples. The first part of Ubapter XI., devoted in the English édition to English portable and fixod agricultural enginos, in tbis édition gives place entirely to illustrations from Ainerican practice, of steam engines as applied to différent pnrposos, and of appliànces and machines necessary to Ûiem. But with the exception of some of tbe illustrations and the description of them, and the correction of a few typograpbical errors, tbis édition is a faitbful transcript of the latest English odltion.^
