Published by the Board of Managers of the JOHN W. WESTON, Secretary, 51 LAKESIDE BUILDING. COPYRIGHT 1892, By Benezette Williams, Chairman, Board of Managers, Press of JOHN W. WESTON PRINTING HOUSE, Blue Island, Ill. 'PREFACE. The material composing this volume has appeared in the monthly numbers of the JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF ENGINEERING SOCIETIES since October 1884, under the title of "Index Notes." The notes published in the twelve numbers of one year have been republished, with cross-references, arranged in one alphabetical list, in an appendix to each volume. Seven of these annual summaries are now brought together, rearranged alphabetically, with numerous cross-references, and with a more systematic arrangement of subject matter. It is published by the Board of Managers of the JOURNAL and placed on sale at a price barely sufficient to pay the cost of arrangement and publication. Although there are over eleven (11) thousand notes and cross-references in this list, no claim is made for its completeness, even for the period covered by it. It is thought to contain, however, nearly all periodical, society, and fragmentary matter of permanent value not only for the period 1884 to 1891, inclusive, but a great deal which appeared earlier. Thus the entire proceedings of the American Society of Civil Engineers, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and of the Association of Engineering Societies, have been indexed so far as they seemed deserving. Also the complete files of Van Nostrand's Engineering Magazine, and of The Engineering News. The Proceedings of the Institution of Civil 17041 |
