Abstract
(1) THE publication of this little volume is very opportune. Although the matter does not differ essentially from that found in other books on electrical testing of circuits, the manner of presenting the subject is admirable, and particularly well adapted to the class of reader for which the book is intended, namely, the colliery or factory engineer. There is no padding and unnecessary scientific, verbiage, but directness of treatment, which must be welcome to the busy engineer. In this sense the treatment may be called popular; there is only little mathematics used, and that is of an elementary character, yet there is no sacrifice of scientific accuracy.
