    This revision brings the work down to June, 1893, as completely as is practicable in a work of such a character, and the additions include descriptions of all the town and city purification works known to be in operation to date. That the book is now other than relatively com- plete is not pretended; it is merely put forth as representing the best effort in this direction of which the joint authors are capable at this time. Our sincere thanks are due to the many engineers who have cordially responded to our requests for information, as well as to the superin- tendents of a number of public institutions to whom we have applied. Among engineers to whom we are specially indebted may be men- tioned Col. Geo. E. Waring, Jr., M. Inst. C.E., J. Herbert Shedd, M. Am. Soc. C.E., Samuel M. Gray, M. Am. Soc. C.E., and Chas. A. Allen, M. Am. Soc. C.E. The major portion of the illustrations have been prepared, specially for this work, under the direction of Mr. F. P. Burt, of Engineering News. Eor the illustrations not so prepared, we are indebted to The American Society of Civil Engineers, The Engineering Magazine, The Engineering Eecord, and Engineering News. G. W. K. M. N. B.
