Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Complete Class-Book of Naval Architecture: Practical, Laying Off, Theotrical While the science of Shipbuilding is perhaps the most vital science of our country, its literature is of the scantiest. This want is nowhere more keenly felt than with the vast body of students attending technical classes, who have absolutely no book on Naval Architecture that will carry them through their courses of study. It is true there are such excellent Manuals as White's, Reed's, Campbell Holms's, Walton's, etc., but their application to technical students is limited, and their price prohibitive to most. In the shipbuilding world there are also a great many shipwrights, platers, draughtsmen, and others who would gladly welcome a book published at a reasonable price, which will supply them with a sufficiency of Naval Architecture for their ordinary and everyday needs, and enable them afterwards to study those higher works on the subject with intelligence and profit. The book will be found to be peculiarly adapted to the needs of students working for the Examinations of the Board of Education, as the syllabus of the course has been used as the basis for the work. A great many fully worked-out answers to questions set by the Department in the Elementary, Advanced, and Honours stages have been made an important feature, and it is hoped they will be of use to students. All abstruse matters not bearing directly on the subject have been rigorously excluded, and all technical statements and terms have been put in as plain and simple a language as possible.
