Excerpt from The Exhibited Machinery of 1862: A Cyclopedia of the Machinery Represented at the International Exhibition

Though the Author does not h0pe to satisfy everybody, he has endeavoured, to the best of his ability, to do honour where honour is due; and, whilst he has avoided needless commentary, he has given prominence to the more remarkable works exhibited, in defining the course of improvement.

The Woodcuts and Plate-engravings will be found of great utility in illustrating the text. The Plan of the Western Annex shows the arrangement of the Machinery Department, as prepared and carried out by the Author for Her Majesty's Commissioners: it will possess considerable interest, particularly for those who were identified or associated with that Department. The drawing from which the plan has been reduced, was carefully made for the Author by Mr. John Cundy, Deputy-superintendent of the Annex. A number of machines were drafted to the Eastern Annex, for want of Space in the Western, which accounts for the absence of those machines from the plan.
