12mo, 276 pages, 3/4 red morocco, raised bands, edgeworn and lacking the top panel of the spine; ex Robert A. Beck "Nothing John wrote helped the motive power officer so much as this. Nothing in railroad literature, written twenty-six years ago, is as good to-day as this --J.S. Coffin, the publisher, who autographed the Forward. These sketches originally appeared in the columns of "Locomotive Engineering." as by John Alexander. Having been a locomotive engineer, under his full name, he began his own publishing firm, and eventually became the Hill of McGraw-Hill - publishers who knew and know more than a little about publishing technical books. Knowing that object lessons may be better learned in a story form, he created these tales to both please and instruct [ Wright Fiction III: 2676 ].
