Abstract
Prof. J. B. Whitehead who is professor of electrical at the Johns Hopkins University has done mach valuable research on ials During 1926–27, when he was an exchange pro essor in France, he gave a series of lectures on the properties of dielectrics and the phenomena which occur when high electric stress is applied to insulating materials. These lectures he now publishes in book form, and they will be very helpful to physicists and particularly to electrical engineers.
