FAMOUS ENGINEER
Books on James Watt of the steamengine are to bo expected in this bicentenary year of his birth. One, dealing closely with his craftsmanship, comes from the pen of Mr. H. W. Dickinson —a skilful and trustworthy pen, for the author has long been a student of the life and work of Watt, and is fully qualified to handle serviceably the technical phases of tho subject. In books of this sort ho has already made a name for himself.
History, biography, science and practical disquisition combine to make this book invaluable to students, and it will pleaso the general reader, although in the middle of it will be mot a conclusive denial of tho familiar teakettle story. It is well-produced, its illustrations being of particular merit.
