WHAT IS SAID OF THE "STANDARD ELECTRICAL

DICTIONARY."

The dictionary gives evidence of a large amount of painstaking work on the part of the author, ard possesses features which must be commended. Among these, the author, wherever occasion required it, has furnished the synonyms of terms, and the book is given an additional value by an alphabetical index, which enables it to be consulted for terms, both collectively and individually. The work will prove of value to the reader, whether professional or non-professional. The definitions are put tersely and concisely, so that the inquiring reader can carry away a defined, net impression as to what is meant. Any student who will spend his leisure hours over the volume will be amply repaid for his time and trouble. The book is very clearly printed in bold type on good paper, and is well bound.-Electrical World. A Special Circular of the Book sent on request.

AN ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY ON ALL SUBJECTS RELATING TO THE LOCOMOTIVE It was not Mr. McShane's intention to present his sole views upon any subject, but to represent the entire thought, discovery and research, both practical and theoretical, in locomotive construction and management.

It is of inestimable value to every railroad man and inventor, not only in being scientifically correct, but from the conscientious endeavor everywhere apparent to render thoroughly intelligible to the reader every detail of each subject based upon the most recent practical and experimental tests, by a man of wide experience in all the details of the subject. You will find in mechanical journals the facts; you will find in this book the reasons for the facts.

Plain, simple and explicit language is used through the book, no mathematical demonstrations being given or required.

The illustrations are exquisite examples of the highest class of engraving and printing, and no labor or expense has been spared in contributing toward the richness, elegance and beauty of the workmanship.
