"The tenth edition of this invaluable Pocket Book has just made its appearance; space will not permit us to describe all the changes made in it, for it has been entirely re-written. The formulæ and tables contained in former editions have been supplemented by many others, the chapter of useful Memo. randa regarding different kinds of work has been greatly extended, and a most valuable addition has been made to the work in the shape of 37 pp. of admirably condensed Memoranda connected with Sanitary Engineering. The book is very well got up, and though it contains nearly twice as much matter as the last edition, the paper and type have been so arranged that it does not occupy a greater bulk."-Royal Engineers' Journal.
