Abstract
THIS is a book which possesses many good points, but which becomes, on close acquaintance, painfully disappointing, and even irritating, to the reader. The author has undoubtedly spared no pains to make it full of information; but its very fullness becomes bewildering, owing to the way in which the material is cut up and put together. One might almost imagine that it had been reduced from a much larger work, chiefly by means of deletions, and without the rounding-off of the angularities which such a process would inevitably develop.
Electricity for Public Schools and Colleges.
By W. Larden (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1887.)
