sketches. It gives the mathematical basis for the cuts used in turning.

PROBLEMS in MECHANICAL DRAWING.
By Charles A. Bennett. With drawings made by Fred D. Crawshaw.
This book consists of 80 plates and a few explanatory notes, and is
bound in board covers with brass fasteners. Its purpose is to furnish
teachers of classes beginning mechanical drawing with a large number of
simple, practical problems. These have been selected with reference to
the formation of good habits in technique, the interest of the pupils, and
the subjects generally included in a grammar and first-year high school
course. Each problem given is unsolved and therefore in proper form to
hand to the pupil for solution. Price, $1.00.
