Abstract

(1) A NEW edition of Dr. Russell's book will be welcomed both by physicists and electrical engineers, particularly by those who have to teach advanced students. The addition of greatest interest to electrical engineers is the chapter dealing with the theory of coupled electrical circuits. This subject is now of great importance in wireless telegraphy and a simple and complete statement of the theory, such as that worked out by Prof. Fleming or that contained here, is of great value. The tables for determining high-frequency resistance and for estimating the inductance of coils and for calculating the effective capacity of a long antenna should,also be of importance to radiotelegraph engineers. It is impossible, in a short hdtice, to describe adequately the vast field5 of theoretical work that the book. covers, or to do justice to the masterly treatment of the many problems with which it deals. The book has already taken its place as a standard work on alternating-current theory, and the additions made in this new edition will tend to establish it more firmly in the position it lias already attained.
