Abstract
THE great increase in the cost of coal has naturally directed the attention of users of fuel to the question of fuel economy, the possibilities of which lie in two directions—the utilisation of lower-grade fuels and waste combustible material, and the more efficient utilisation of all fuels. Mr. Kershaw's book deals adequately with both these aspects of this important question. His earlier chapters are devoted to the consideration of peat, wood waste, small coal and washery waste, and other minor combustibles. In his second section he deals with fuel sampling and analysis and with the scientific control of combustion in practice.
