“The theory of the steam turbine forms altogether the least essential part of the book, whereas the principles that should govern the design form its most important portion. There cannot be any question but that the book has been written for the use of the designers of turbines.... The most important chapter titles are: Historical notes on turbines; Velocity of steam; Types of steam turbines; Practical turbines; Efficiency of turbines; Turbine vanes; Disk and vane friction in turbines; Strength of rotating disks; Governing steam turbines; Steam consumption of turbines; The whirling of shafts; Speed of turbines.”—Engin. N.
“The book is, on the whole, very satisfactory. It is well gotten up and the large number of numerical examples worked out add materially to its value.” Storm Bull.

Jusserand, Jean Adrien Antoine Jules. Literary history of the English people, from the renaissance to the civil war. v. 2. *$3.50. Putnam.

“M. Jusserand continues his English version of the ‘Histoire littéraire du peuple Anglais;’ the present instalment is half the original second volume, which appeared in 1904, and went from the Renaissance to the Civil war. This stops just before the drama; it takes in Spenser, Sidney, and ‘Euphues,’ but the predecessors of Shakespeare are kept for the second part.”—Lond. Times.
