Centenaries, '62: II. J. M. RANKINE
Abstract
IN 1862 W. J. M. Rankine, Professor of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at Glasgow University published his ‘Manual of Civil Engineering’, a stout volume of 784 pages costing 16s. He had already written ‘The Steam Engine and Other Prime Movers’ three years earlier, and they became standard textbooks, ‘Civil Engineering’ reaching a 15th edition in 1885 and ‘The Steam Engine’, a 13th in 1891; even now students can read them with profit.
