“Is the dreariest and dismallest novel we have ever read. Its tragedy does not make us weep; its comedy does not make us laugh: it bores us acutely.”

“‘The far horizon,’ while fully as clever as ‘Sir Richard Calmady,’ is free from the ugly blemishes which disfigured that brilliant but conspicuously uncomfortable novel. The theme and its treatment are higher and finer, there is less reliance on violence or sensationalism, and the narrative has ‘shining moments’ which transcend the capacities of ordinary talent. On the other hand it cannot honestly be contended that this is a pleasing or a satisfying book.”

“Of the fifteen chapters comprising the volume, the first two are devoted to conditions governing the different forms of electric lighting, the third and fourth to the factors entering into the various methods of alternating-current distribution; fifth, sixth, and seventh, to the principles and performance of transformers; the eighth to thirteenth inclusive, to alternators and a practical consideration of the current generated; the fourteenth to transformer testing and operation, and the fifteenth to definitions and formulas associated with alternating-current practice.”—Engin. N.
“One of the few successful attempts thus far made to discuss alternating currents without the use of mathematics. In clearness and originality of expression, neat press work, and general appearance, the book is a credit to both the author and publisher.”
