HOXSIE, A PRACTICAL ENGINEER, Embraces practical instructions for the care and management of the Locomotive Engine under all circumstances, and is designed for the use of the Fireman as well as the Engineer, ignoring entirely all fanciful theories, and matters pertaining more especially to Locomotive Builders or Mechanics. The Author's aim has been to condense in as brief space as possible plain and explicit, yet compre. hensive information as to the practical duties of those placed in charge of Locomotives. The work embodies numerous suggestions valuable to experienced Engineers, while the detail explanations are designed more especially for those less informed; and it is believed to be sufficient to meet every case of doubt or difficulty likely to arise. Among the subjects treated, besides the General Instructions for Engineers and Firemen, and to which separate articles are devoted, may be mentioned, Tramming, Center Marking, Expansion and Expansion Braces, Valve and Valve Motion, Lap and Lead, Pump and Valves, Eccentrics, Adjustment of Side and Main Rods, Four Principal Points of Valve Motion, Trouble on the Road and how to meet it, Pumping, Accidents, Temporary Repairs, and numerous other topics. The difficulty encountered by young Engineers and Firemen struggling for promotion, has been steadily kept in view by the author, whose experience as a practical Engineer has enabled him to fully sympathize with, and appreciate the wants of both these classes. He has, in short, aimed to produce a common sense manual of the Locomotive, free from unnecessary technicalities, abstruse science or useless theory. This is the only work published that is entirely devoted to the use and benefit of Engineers and Firemen, and void of superfluous matter not pertaining directly to the Locomotive Engine in its care and management in detail. This work contains about one hundred pages, printed on fine toned paper with large clear type, and handsomely bound in Cloth, Pocket size. Price $1.50 per copy, post paid. Address CHAS. A.

REED'S HEAD-LIGHT Comprising such information as is necessary to give a general knowledge of the calculation, construction, and management of the American locomotive engine. This I believe to be the first work published illustrating the movements of the link, the slide-valve, and their working centres, by working valve tables, explaining their movements in such manrer that the apprentice can easily understand what has been heretofore almost a secret. The work contains about 200 pages, the size of which is 46 x 7 inches. The work does not contain any superfluous matter, to increase Its number of pages. My endeavor has been to avoid unnecessary words, giving only solid, practical workings, in as clear a manner and in as small a compass as my abilities would permit. I believe I am justified in saying that this is the work that will give the information so long sought for by those who desire a general knowledge of the construction and management of the locomotive engine, one of the greatest works of man. PRICE REDUCED TO SUIT THE TIMES. The HEAD-LIGHT will be sent by mail on receipt of price, $1.50. The money must accompany the order, and can be sent safely by Post-Office order or by Registered Letter. We pay express or postage charges on the book.
