Abstract
(1) THE developments of the theory and practice of engineering in relation to the internal-combustion engine have been so rapid in the last few years that old text-books are practically obsolete, and the serious student of this fascinating subject can only obtain trustworthy information by consulting a mass of original papers. The present text-books are of the class which will appeal to advanced students of engineering, and will also be welcomed by engineers who, without having a specialist knowledge of the subject, wish to keep abreast of modern developments.
