“To all who follow Dr. Carroll in his apparent contention that winsomeness consists in words fitly spoken, this book will be of great and interesting and in some respects a difficult sub-permanent value.” Edward Braislin.

Carter, E. Fremlett. Motive power and gearing for electrical machinery: a treatise on the theory and practice of the mechanical equipment of power stations for electricity supply and for electric power and traction. *$5. Van Nostrand.
“The first edition of this book was issued in 1896.... The book is essentially a compilation of principles, theory and results of experiments of the mechanical engineering features of electrical power plants, with some illustrated descriptions of existing plants.... [It includes] many subjects which are usually treated in separate books. It is neither a textbook nor a work of reference but practically an encyclopaedic compilation, from various sources, of descriptions and data on mechanical engineering which are supposed to be of interest to the electrical engineer.”—Engin. N.
“The engineering student will find each of the subjects of this book treated in far better shape in numerous standard works, and the general reader who is not a student will find the book in many cases too difficult of comprehension for him.” William Kent.

Carter, Jesse Benedict. [Religion of Numa, and other essays on the religion of ancient Rome.] *$1. Macmillan.
In order to facilitate presentation, Mr. Carter divides Roman history into five epochs, those of the legendary kings and the semi-historical kings, the first half of the republic, the last half of the republic, the beginning of the empire, and the renaissance of religion under Augustus. It “is less a handbook than a sketch of the change by which the original agricultural and secluded mythology of Rome and its gods who had their proper home within the Pomerium, developed into the prevailing mythology of the classical period.” (Ind.)
