PRACTICAL. SHIPBUILDING: A Treatise on the Structural Design and Building of Modern Steel Ves- sels. The Work of Construction, from the' Making of.the Raw Matenal to the Equipped Vessel, including Subsequent Upkeep and Repairs. By A. CAMPBELL HOLMS, Member of the Institution of Naval Architects and of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland; Surveyor to Lloyd's Register of Shipping. 2 vols. (Vol. L, Text. Medium 8vo. Vol. II.. Diagrams and Illustrations. Oblong 4to.) The plan of the book is briefly as follows: First, attention is given to the fundamen- tal matters which govern the structural design; the various stresses to which the hull is exposed, their straining tendency, and the different structural designs by which the necessary strength to resist them may be secured. Secondly, each important patt of the hull is considered by itself, and each one from three points of view. viz., its purpose in the structure and the particular stresses and straining effects to which it is liable; the various formations adopted in its design, with the rules governing them as regards scantlings and strength; and a description of the actual work of making it in a shipyard and fitting it to the ship. As a description of the actual work of the shipyard is reading of a special character, it is dealt with separately in the second part of the book, the sequence generally being thus better preserved.
