Excerpt from Guide Posts on the Engineer's Journey: Illustrated by Numerous Engravings and Containing Many Useful Tables This is largely a compilation from every reliable source bearing upon the subjects treated, as it would be almost an impossibility to write an entirely original work regarding them. It is intended simply as a book that can be carried in the pocket for a reference, as its many practical tables can not fail to be of some use, and the want of them is often vexatious. In the chapter on fuels, some accounts of the various methods of using "petroleum" and "natural gas" are given, with illustrations of the apparatus employed, which it is believed are new to the general public. A list of the books and authors more generally consulted and quoted from is inserted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
