Book review

The Standard Electrical Dictionary: By T. O´Conor Sloane, A. M., E. M., Ph. D., Author of “Arithmetic of Electricity,” etc., etc. Revised and enlarged by Prof. A. E. Watson, of Brown University. The Norman W. Henley Publishing Co., New York, N. Y. 5 by 7 in. Cloth. $5.00. An eleetrical dictionary which assumes the proportions of a handbook as well. The author attributes much of its unusual values to its revision and enlargement by Prof. E. Watson, of Brown University. The work contains 790 pages, comprehensively covering the science of electricity in its varying known phases, inclusive of most recent developments, even to the addition of radio terms. It is also profusely illustrated with 497 cuts and diagrams to elucidate the text. It has been said that the modest term “dictionary” but inadequately describes the scope of this book, the definite completeness of which might will prove a valuable adjunct to the library of any electrical engineering student.
