“‘The red seal’ has the great merit of being really mysterious. The author has managed very cleverly in the way she contrives to conceal all clues that might lead one to discover the true culprit, holding them back until the very end. The tale moves swiftly and holds the reader’s interest.”

“As in so many cinema plots, everyone seems to be ready to believe anything about anybody, to act in the most compromising manner for apparently inadequate motives, and to prevaricate with voluble insincerity at all times and in all places. With such allies at her disposal, Miss Lincoln makes so formidable a defence of her mystery that only the most experienced reader will penetrate it before the time appointed for unveiling.”

LIND, WALLACE LUDWIG.[[2]] Internal-combustion engines. il $2.20 Ginn 621.43
20–6497
The author has treated of internal combustion engines, their principles and application to automobile, aircraft, and marine purposes. “The endeavor has been to arrange and present the subject matter in such a manner as to bring it well within the comprehension of the average student. For more advanced students, who have a knowledge of thermodynamics, the writer has presented in Chapter III the theoretical considerations of the various cycles which are applicable to internal-combustion engines.” (Preface) There are 120 illustrations, a trouble chart and an index.
“For its purpose the book is very well suited: the theoretical work is sufficiently elementary, and the sections describing practice, although apparently slight, are just such as young cadets can grasp and appreciate.”
