Synopsis
This book presents a series of essays originally published in a newspaper in Bombay, India in the mid-19th century. The author, writing under the pseudonym Tom Cringle, comments on manufacturing, construction, and engineering practices of the time, particularly in relation to imported goods from Britain.
