The first two chapters of the work “cover the general engineering preliminaries, such as estimates and field engineering. Location and construction of track, power stations and overhead circuits are next described and illustrated from the best current practice. The remainder of the volume deals with the many details of operation beginning with the essential features of time-tables, schedules, dispatching and signals.”—Engin. N.
“As a whole, the book is well printed, bound and indexed.... It will be convenient for reference, especially to those engineers who are not regular readers of the electric railway periodicals and to those who do not have access to the bound volumes of the Street railway journal.” Henry H. Norris.

Herrick, Rufus Frost. Denatured or industrial alcohol. *$4. Wiley.
7–19427.
A treatise on the history, manufacture, composition, uses, and possibilities of industrial alcohol in the various countries permitting its use, and the laws and regulations governing the same, including the United States. It appeals to the chemical manufacturer on the one hand, and the engineer who would use it as fuel on the other.
“Probably the best treatise available in English.”
