✦ Synopsis

The "Munro and Jamieson" has enjoyed for many years a place of honor in the reference collection of the British electrical engineer, particularly in the field of telegraphy which early became a highly refined and successfully applied art in the hands of the scientists of that country. In the course of time the enormous growth of the industry has presented difficulties in keeping the volume within practical limits of size and particular attention has been given to what to displace of old matter and what to add of the recent advances. This twentythird edition, the publishers state, is at a low price to meet a popular demand. The typographical quality, however, is excellent.
