Excerpt from A Text-Book of Applied Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering, Vol. 4 of 5 It has been found necessary to still further subdivide this wide and all-important subject of Advanced Applied Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering. In order to do so with the least departure and derangement of the previous volumes and editions, it has been advisable and convenient to follow the recent subdivision of this subject as stated in the "Rules and Syllabus of Examinations applying to the Election of Associate Members of The Institution of Civil Engineers." Moreover, this particular method of subdivision is practised by several Universities and Technical Colleges. It is also being advocated by Teachers in connection with the Boards of Education, and, to a certain extent, by those connected with the City and Guilds of London Examinations in Mechanical Engineering. Consequently, Volume I. will deal with "Applied Mechanics" proper, Volume II. will discuss and give practical illustrations of "Strength and Elasticity of Materials," Volume III. will be confined to The Theory of Structures, Volume IV. to "Hydraulics, Hydraulic and Refrigerating Machinery," whilst Volume V. will be greatly enlarged, and treat upon The Theory of Machines."
