“In this book the author attempts no more than a review of the general nature of electricity, the methods of producing it and the services to which it is applied.” (Preface) The book is illustrated with forty-five figures in the text. It is issued as one of Pitman’s common commodities and industries series.
“It is remarkable how complete and accurate is the information given. The reader is, however, hurried on unpleasantly fast, and is never allowed to pause where his interest is aroused.”
