The practice of every branch of industry treated of is brought down to its latest existing state, the improvements introduced are clearly stated, and the value of them estimated with discrimination and sagacity. Much of the information is entirely new-to scientific literature at least, being either the result of investigations in which Dr. Ure has himself been professionally engaged (as an analytical chemist), or derived from private sources, to which he has had exclusive access."-MECHANICS MAGAZINE.

No trial of skill, certainly, excitès such earnest desire to conquer; and those who are ambitious of victory must study Walker."-LITERARY GAZETTE.
