About the Book

IF we omit from consideration some American and one or two English papers, it may safely be said that the technical press of the world is conducted on serious lines, and is fairly free from the writings of misguided people who try to make science and art interesting by treating technical subjects in a way that is meant to be funny. Judging from his colloquial style and the statement that some of the subjects discussed in this treatise have been in the American Machinist and the Pattern-Maker, we assume Mr. Barrows to be either an American, or an Englishman who has lived for some time in the United States. His attempts to make the material in his book "as interesting as possible" are not conspicuously successful. References to "the sty for Farmer Jones' pig," "Johnny's picture of the cow," "the pattern-maker in the role of Sherlock Holmes," and various other irrelevant allusions, are more calculated to induce the reader to lay the book aside than the "dry reading" which Mr. Barrows looks upon as an objection to technical books as a class. We are glad to find that, as the author he's deeper into the subject, he gradually became interested, and, writing sensibly on work he evidently understands, becomes really interesting. The book contains much useful information on pattern-making in general, a detailed description of the materials and tools used by the pattern-maker, and a section devoted to typical patterns, in wood, and metal. As the examples selected and the general treatment appeal more particularly to mechanical engineers than to architects and builders, the treatise is less suitable for the bulk of our readers than others that Could be named. The illustrations are all good, and have been prepared exclusively from sectional and other drawings, and, except in places, where the author tries to be "interesting," the language, used has the merit of being plain, intelligible, and to the point. -The Builder
