Abstract
PROF. ANDRADE'S book is founded on the Christmas lectures delivered by him at the Royal Institution last year. Not a little difficult is it for the author of such a work to decide just how far to go in the development of his subject. It is clearly necessary, after the broad principles have been carefully enunciated, to show how they are applied in actual engines, and since they are applied differently in different types of engine, it is obviously necessary to trace the operative principle in each type. This is very effectively done without any suggestion of over-development.
Engines: a Book founded on a Course of Six Lectures (adapted, in the old phrase, to a Juvenile Auditory) delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
By Dr. E. N. da C. Andrade. Pp. xv + 267 + 36 plates. (London: G. Bell and Sons, Ltd., 1928.) 7s. 6d. net.
