Abstract
THE older generation of electricians are well acquainted with the earlier editions of this work; and much of our standard nomenclature, as well as many of the symbols in everyday use, is due i to Hospitalier. Nowadays numerous other pocket-books partially fulfil the functions of a book of reference for electricians, but not any of them are so complete or so well arranged as this book. We are inclined to grumble at its size—it contains now nearlv 1500 pages—but it is difficult to find anything that might be cut out with advantage, and there are many subjects, like wireless telegraphy and telephony, which one would like to see included.
