"The MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND CONVENIENT ACCOUNT that has yet appeared of a gigantic industry which has made incalculable additions to the comfort of civilised man. The chapter dealing with the arrangement for STORAGE and TRANSPORT of GREAT PRACTICAL INTEREST. The DIGEST of LEGISLATION on the subject cannot but prove of the GREATEST UTILITY."-The Times. 66 A SPLENDID CONTRIBUTION to our technical literature."-Chemical News. 66 This THOROUGHLY STANDARD WORK in every way EXCELLENT most fully and ably handled could only have been produced by a man in the very exceptional position of the Author. INDISPEN SABLE to all who have to do with Petroleum, its APPLICATIONS, MANUFacture, STORAGE, or TRANSPORT."-Mining Journal.

"We must concede to Mr. Redwood the distinction of having produced a treatise which must be admitted to the rank of THE INDISPENSABLES. It contains THE LAST WORD that can be said about Petroleum in any of its SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL, and LEGAL aspects. It would be difficult to conceive of a more comprehensive and explicit account of the geological conditions associated with the SUPPLY of Petroleum and the very practical question of its AMOUNT and DURATION."-Journal of Gas Lighting.

Many NOTABLE ADDITIONS, dealing with new Processes and Developments,

will be found in the Third Edition.

"Of the THIRD EDITION, we are still able to say that, as a Text-book of Metallurgy, it is THE BEST with which we are acquainted."- Engineer.

"The value of this work is almost inestimable. There can be no question that the amount of time and labour bestowed on it is enormous. There is certainly no Metallurgical Treatise in the language calculated to prove of such general utility."-Mining Journal.

"In this most useful and handsome volume is condensed a large amount of valuable practical knowledge. A careful study of the first division of the book, on Fuels, will be found to be of great value to every one in training for the practical applications of our scientific knowledge to any of our metallurgical operations."-Athenæum.

"A work which is equally valuable to the Student as a Text-book, and to the practical Smelter as a Standard Work of Reference. The Illustrations

are admirable examples of Wood Engraving."-Chemical News.
