PREFACE. 



Progress in the development of material resources, in recent 
years, has created a large and increasing volume of engineering 
literature in periodicals which contain valuable papers and in- 
formation, much of which is too recent, or fragmentary in char- 
acter, to be found in books, or elsewhere. 

This work is designed to make accessible to engineers in all 
branches of the profession, to special investigators, librarians, 
editors and others, the moi-e important papers and articles con- 
tained in leading Amei'ican and English periodicals during the 
last five years. To keep the list from becoming unwieldy, It 
was decided to limit, besides the period covered, the number 
of references to about ten thousand, and, with these restrictions, 
the compiler has selected each reference given by personal ex- 
amination of the articles in the flies, and has been enabled to 
include quite complete references to the. periodicals named. 
He regrets that the prescribed limits do not enable him to also 
include the Proceedings of the Engineering Societies, and other 
valuable periodicals, in the present volume. 

The index is by subjects, alphalietically arranged, and makes 
available information now practically buried in the mass of en- 
gineering literature, or only to be extracted by the aid of some 
one hundred and fifty different indices, and the loss of much time. 

Boston, May, 1888.
