Abstract
(1) ENGINEERS interested in this very difficult problem are much indebted to Mr. Holzwarth for his ingenuity, to Mr. Junghaus for his support, and to both for their liberality in making public the results of their labours in this direction up to the present. Though the book is but a small volume of 140 pages, the matter is greatly condensed, and will demand close attention for its full significance to be appreciated.
