Présentation de l'éditeur:

The City and Guilds of London Institute for the Advancement ofT echnical Education having, in the year 1880, issued a programme of instruction in various subjects, upon the basis of the system so well developed by the Government Department of Science and A rt, the author became enrolled as a teacher of Mechanical Engineering in connection with the I nstitute, and delivered a series of lectures in that subject at the City of London College. His efforts to render the course attractive and useful were fairly successful, as he was able to draw upon a very large collection of diagrams prepared for machine construction and other allied science subjects; and these, supplying the ground work of the illus trations, enabled him to devote some time to the preparation of others specially applicable to the circumstances of the case. However, the very abundance of the information proved in itself a drawback, as the majority of the students, coming totally unprepared by previous training for taking notes, and having but little aptitude for dealing with formul89, or even for the classification of facts, were unablo to assimilate the technical food placed before them.
