Excerpt from Engineering Estimates, Costs, and Accounts: A Guide to Commercial Engineering, With Numerous Examples of Estimates and Costs of Millwright, Work, Miscellaneous Productions, Steam Engines, and Steam Boilers; And a Section on the Preparation of Costs Accounts

So far as the author of this work is aware, there is no previous publication which attempts either to cover the ground which is here traversed, or to attain the object he has in view.

Briefly, the ground covered is represented by that part (by far the most important) of the commercial work of an engineering establishment which centres in the preparation of estimates. The object in view, primarily, is to place a general acquaintance, at least, with com mercial engineering within the reach of young men receiving a practical training in engineering shops and drawing offices, so many of whom are often placed at serious disadvantage later on in their lives for want of commercial knowledge.
