Excerpt from Scientific London

Both in the collection and arrangement of material for these papers - which originally appeared in the columns of Iron - I have received ready and valuable aid from the officers of various institutions, and I take this opportunity of tendering my hearty thanks to Pro fessor Huxley, to Major Donnelly, to Mr. W. Spottis woode, and to Mr. Henry Cole; to Mr. H. T. Wood and Mr. Davenport, of the Society of Arts; to Mr. Walter White, of the Royal Society; to Mr. Whittall, of the Statistical Society; to Mr. Latimer Clark and Mr. G. E. Preece, of the Society of Telegraph Engineers; to Mr. Trenham Reeks, of the Royal School of Mines; to Mr. Norris, of the Birkbeck Institute; to Mr. H. W. Bates, of the Royal Geographical Society; to Mr. Forrest, of the Institution of Civil Engineers; and especially to Colonel Charles Manby, to whose frequent counsel and friendly supervision I am deeply indebted.
