MECHANICAL DRAWING.
An elementary treatise on Orthographic Projection,
being a new method of teaching the Science of Me-

“Mr. Binns has treated his subject in a practical and masterly man-
ner, avoiding theoretical disquisitions on the art, and giving direct and
applicable examples, advancing progressively from the correct ortho-
graphic projection of the most simple to the most complex forms, thus
clearing away the mist from the mind of the student, and leading him
gradually to a correct and thorough appreciation of what he has under-
taken, and to that which it is his desire to attain."-" The Artizan.”
