Abstract
THESE four books are samples of the different classes of text-books of the present day. The first, as its title implies, is intended for workmen actually engaged in the electrical industries, and is therefore of the non-mathematical technical order. The second, on the other hand, is intended for the practical man who is not afraid of a differential equation, and is a very suitable book for a student of one of the higher technical colleges. The third is a mathematical treatise of the University type; while the fourth is intended for the general public unacquainted with mathematical or scientific principles, but anxious to learn something about this electricity and its distribution, which are now constantly being referred to even in the daily newspapers.
