Abstract
THE great development of engineering schools in the United States has led to the production of a considerable number of technical text-books primarily intended for students. It may at once be stated that, taken as a whole, these books are increasingly scholarly and sound; but they are largely compiled from similar European text-books, and often disclose a want of any serious independent investigation of the subject dealt with.
