Abstract
(1) FOR those beginning the serious study of the theory, Messrs. Moorfield and Winstanley's primer “Heat Engines” has already obtained recognition as a suitable medium of introduction to the subject. The second edition follows the lines of the first, but is enlarged by the addition of a chapter on steam turbines. It thus covers the work usually required for the Ordinary National Certificate and presents a difficult subject in an easy and convincing way very suitable for those of limited attainment in mathematics.
