Abstract
SOME books, like the pedlar's razors, are made to sell rather than for use. Mr. Guy's volume is not one of these. It has been issued “for the purpose of placing on record useful practical knowledge obtained by the author during several years' experience of central-station work, together with brief explanations of the laws which govern the action of electrical apparatus in general use for electric lighting.” This brief description shows clearly the ground covered. There are many similar works in the market, but we do not know of one better suited to give the manipulator of electric dynamos an intelligent knowledge of the forces with which he has to deal.
Electric Light and Power.
By Arthur F. Guy Pp. 346. (London: Biggs and Co., 1894.)
