Classified Guide To Technical And Commercial Books - A Subject-list Of The Principal British And American Works In Print

PREFACE. THE object of this Guide is to group into sections and subdivisions the principal books in the English language treating of technical and commercial subjects. The growth of technical education has created a demand for books covering a wide range of technology hitherto the inquirer has had to search through various catalogues for a book on any given subject. This Guide enables him to see at a glance all the books of any standing dealing with nearly every profession and industry. As far as possible, only books in print are given, but a few books may have gone out of print while this volume has been passing through the press. The bibliographical details refer to the latest edition of each book, and where American books are on sale in this country, the name of the British firm holding stock is given and the letters U.S.A. it designate as an American book. Owing to the large range of subjects dealt with, it has been impossible to enter a book under more than one heading, but the index will frequently form the quickest means of tracing books on any particular subject. The sizes of the volumes in inches are approximately as follows Folio 14 x 10 inches. Quarto 12 x 9 inches. Koyal 8vo 10 x 6 inches. Medium 8vo 9J x 6 inches. Demy 8vo 8f x 5J inches. Crown 8vo 7 x 5 inches. 12mo 7x4 inches. 16mo 6 x 4 inches. The year given is that appearing on the title page of the last edition and where no place is given after the publishers name, London is understood. Subjects not dealt with in this Guide are Medicine, Law and Dentistry, but books on Pharmacy, Hygiene, Hospital and Veterinary work, Commercial and Industrial Law find a place. A section relating to Education and Methods of Teachinghas been included, but it has been found impossible to name all the school books now in print. My thanks are gratefully rendered to all the publishers who have kindly allowed me to see their books, and to the gentlemen who have read the proofs of sections relating to professions or industries in which they were specially interested. I am also indebted to the English Catalogue, the Publishers Circular London, and the Publishers Weekly New York, and the excellent library of the Patent Office, London, for the dates of publication of many of the books. 19 LUDGATE HILL, LONDON, E.G.
