“By means of the rules given in this volume, the reader will, if necessary, always be able to design any other winding not actually discussed here. The explanations are given in a very popular manner, so that anybody possessing an elementary knowledge of the principles of continuous current machines should be able to understand them fully.” Chapter 1, is upon the Theory of windings, Chapter 2, The construction of drum windings, Chapter 3, The construction of armatures. The book is well illustrated and indexed.
Kipling, Rudyard. [Puck of Pook’s hill.] †$1.50. Doubleday.
“We are alway persuaded to ‘believe in fairies’ when they bid us listen and look. And so we are quite sure it is true that Puck came to Dan and Una and told them of the ‘old things’ and showed them how to recall the long ago of their ancestors and ours, giving the history of England the most attractive guise that ever the boys and girls could dream of, and incidentally, preaching a few sermons to the powers of the present day.”—Ind.
“The serious reader may be warned that Mr. Rudyard Kipling is here not quite at his very best. The tales that concern the Roman Centurion are ill-constructed and want cohesion, and those connected with smuggling in later times have been better told before.”

“The machinery of the tales ... is awkward, and even provoking. The story of the ‘Dymchurch flit’ stands alone in its method, style and picturesque beauty. It is an exquisite piece of work unrelated to its predecessors and its successor.”
