✦ Synopsis

lighting and fi~r the general scientific public. It treats of the elementary theory of electric lighting, of lnechanieM and electrical measurements necessary, of the various sources of power and then of the dynamo electric generators themselves ; of the forms of arcs and resistant, lamps, secondary batteries, peculiarities of the various electric lighting systems, and finally of tile applications of this lbrm of lighting, with its advantages and cost.

The matter is presented in an unpretentious manner, and, what is most gratifying, the descripti~ms of obsolete and impraeticable appliances are omitted, if called upon to recolnmend a volume lbr first reading on machinery relating to electric lighting we could scarcely find one so likely to meet the wants of tile majority of inquirers.
