_The Engineer._--"A rapid glance at the illustrations contained
in this book is sufficient to show that it differs very
materially from most others having the same title. Indeed, it
may be said that the volume possesses that desirable but unusual
feature--originality. A chapter on the magnetic field contains
information which the student will find well worth acquiring, and
the same applies to that section of the book which deals with
conductors moving in a magnetic field. The alternating current
section is also good, and in a number of places it possesses the
merit of originality. The book, as we have already intimated,
is written on practical lines, and it is a decided improvement
on most books we have seen having for their title the word
'Electricity'."
