Abstract
(1) MR. MACCALL'S book is well above the standard usually found in books which cover such a wide field, and it can be thoroughly recommended, both to engineers and to students. To the latter, the large selection of questions will be of especial value. The book covers the ground indicated by its title about as thoroughly as could be expected in a volume of its size and price; the most noteworthy omission is the subject of primary batteries. More might have been said about electric heating, a little about electric cooking, and electric furnaces might at least have been mentioned.
