Iron Trades Advertiser._

"The book before us deals with the subject in a manner at once
practical and scientific, and is well worthy of the attention of
all builders, architects and engineers."--_The Builder._

"The book is very readable and full of valuable information, and
bearing in mind the importance of the subject treated, it is one
which engineers will be well advised to procure at an early
date."--_Railway Engineer._

"The author goes fully into his subject, and the translator has
been successful in reproducing in another language what he has to
say. There are given in the text numerous illustrations of the
rusting of iron, prepared in the course of a series of personal
experiments on the formation of rust."--_Journal of Gas Lighting._

"This work is a very elaborate and useful record of the various
phenomena in connection with the corrosion of iron and its
protection against corrosion.... The book is an exceedingly useful
record of what has been done in connection with iron preservation,
and will undoubtedly prove to be of much value to railway
engineers, shipowners, etc."--_Fairplay._

"Herr Andes' book, written purely from a scientific standpoint,
will be particularly useful to iron manufacturers, shipbuilders and
shipowners.... The book is beautifully printed on good paper, and
its appearance does credit to the publishers; the work of
translation has been remarkably well done, the language bearing
none of those irritating traces of Teutonism which disfigure so
many English versions of German technical works."--_The
Ironmonger._

"This knowledge is conveyed with characteristic German thoroughness
in this useful work of Herr Andes, which loses nothing of clearness
in Mr. Salter's excellent translation. The causes of rust formation
are examined, the proper methods of cleansing the ironwork
detailed, and the constitution and application of suitable
preventative coverings explained.... The book is a welcome
contribution to technological literature, and will be found worthy
of the careful study of all who are professionally engaged in the
arrangement or superintendence of the class of work dealt
with."--_Western Daily Mercury._
