Excerpt from Pocket-Book of Mechanics and Engineering: Containing a Memorandum of Facts and Connection of Practice and Theory

Tm every Engineer make his own pocket-book as he proceeds in study and practice, it will then suit his particular business. The present work was compiled in this way continually during the Author's professional career. It was originally not intended for publication, but had grown so large in manuscript as to be inconvenient for the pocket, which circumstance combined with repeated requests to publish it, placed it before the public, first in the year 1854. Since that time he has travelled in Europe for nearly five years, collecting such information for the Pocket Book as to follow up the progress of Engineering profession, and no expense has been spared in attaining that object.
