“The author aims to describe in concise form and in simple non-mathematical language the important applications of the electric current. The underlying principles were stated and briefly illustrated in an easy conversational style, the evident attempt being to write as one would have spoken in addressing his audience in person. The scope of the book covers the construction and operation of direct and alternating current generators and motors, electric lighting and power transmission.”—Engin. N.
“The revision has improved the work as a text-book for schools and has not made it inaccessible to the general reader, as he can pass over these pages without losing the general plan. It covers the same ground as ‘Electrical engineering,’ by Slingo and Brooker, and is one of the very few books in which the attempt is made to do so much in a small space. The general make-up of the volume shows plainly the way in which it has been built; in fact, the ‘patching’ is quite evident.” Henry H. Norris.
