" "APPLEToN's MECHANICS MAGAZINE AND
EEGINEER's JOURNAL" No. l, Jan. edited by
julius w. ADAMS. This is the commencement
of new enterprise on the part Of the indefatiga-
bic publishers, the Messrs. Appleton, which bids
fair to exert highly important influence on the
interests of practical science in this country 1t

mechanical and scientific facts and discoveries
which are adapted to interest the mechanics, en-
gineers, and artisans of the United States, en-
bodyng the results Of the latest Investigations in
this department of knowledge, whether presented
in the contributions Of native writers, contained
in the expensive and voluminous journals that are
now published in Europe. From the specimen
before US, we are led TO form high opinion of the
future character the work, and its adaptation to
the wants Of intelligent artisans in the various de-
partments Of mechanical industry. The articles
in this number on Iron Bridges, the Cunard and Col
Inns Line of Steamers lncrustatiOn OF Boilers At
lantic Waves, Missouri River. and others of a
more elaborate character, will be found to pos
sess an uncommon degree of scientific interest,
"a and mo ar
ton of the intelligent reader. The numerous
illustrative plates are engraved by competent
artists, and add much to the external beauty, no
less than to the scientific utility of the work.
With the rapid development Of mechanical science
in this country, and the competition which is Wig
orously sustained with foreign artisans puOlica-
tion of this kind, conducted with ability and ex-
perience must find liberal patronage and prove
an unmistakable benefit to the community.
