Excerpt from The Elements of Machine Design

IT may perhaps be inferred from the need of a Fourth Edition of this Treatise within less than five years from its first publication, that it has proved useful to those for whom it was intended. That an English Text-book of Machine Design was likely to be serviceable was very apparent to the author, but to write such a Text-book satisfactorily involves not only much practical knowledge, but consider able labour in comparing the dimensions which workshop experience has shown to be necessary, with those deduced on mechanical principles from the forces acting in the machine, so far as they are known. Probably no one is more aware than the author how far this Treatise falls short of what such a Treatise might be. It is pleasant, therefore, to have reason to think that, in spite of defects and omis sions, it has not altogether failed in its purpose.
