Abstract
DESIGNED originally for use in continuation schools, this book will be found equally suitable for the middle forms of secondary schools. Containing, as it does, excellent descriptions of the mode of working in windmills, the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, hydraulic, steam, and internal combustion turbines, etc., it cannot fail to interest boys and to increase their interest in their physical studies. There is enough, but not too much, speculative matter included to stimulate the thoughtful reader. We can thoroughly recommend the volume as providing a useful addition to the ordinary school course.
