Abstract
THIS volume gives the leading papers and extracts from books, etc., from which we can see the gradual historical development of the modern dynamo. The frontispiece gives a portrait of Faraday and the book begins with his discovery of electromagnetic induction. Practically all the book is in Russian, so it will make a limited appeal to English readers. The table of contents proves that a very wide research has been made through the literature of European countries. It is the first issue of Series III in the Transactions of the Russian Institute for the History of Science and Technology. The printing is very clear, but some of the diagrams have not come out very well.
