Cook; cloth; 123 pages, 4x7 ches: published by Longmans Green & (Co. and furnished by THe Martine REVIEW for $1.50. _Every trade has its peculiar expres- sions and names for different things which are gradually acquired by the ‘apprentice while serving his time. This rule, of course, applies to shipbuilding — as well as any other trade and, in the shipbuilder’s art, the trade expressions and names are exceedingly confusing to one who is attempting to acquire re- liable knowledge in a short space of time. It is for this class of men that the present book is published. The book is in reality a condensed encyclopedia of the terms and expres- sions used in steel shipyards; alpha- betically arranged for ready reference. — More than 1600 definitions are given. There are also which are reproductions of mechanical drawings. These illustrate a longitudinal section and upper deck plan; midship — section; stern frame, propeller and rud- S der; and a bulkhead. All the illustra- — tions refer to a typical steel cargo vessel and the various parts, of which 300 are — shown, are named for easy reference. The book will prove of value to those seeking to learn the shipbuilding art. included four plates
