Excerpt from A Text-Book on Applied Mechanics, Vol. 1: Specially Arranged for the Use of Science and Arts, City and Guilds of London Institute, and Other Engineering Students I have not forgotten the requirements of either those who desire to pass the Advanced and Honours Applied Mechanics Examinations of the Boards of Education for England, Scotland, and Ireland, or those preparing for the Mechanical Engineering Examinations of the City and Guilds of London Technological Institute, for I have also allocated their examination questions in the same way, with their 1903 Papers and Rules as guides to Teachers and Students. In the Appendices to both volumes, I have printed extracts from the present and the prospective 1904 Rules and Syllabus of the Institution of Civil Engineers as a guide to intending candidates for admission as Associate Members.
