Book notices

1916 Journal of the Franklin Institute  
This is a comprehensive text-book of 635 pages and 503 excellent illustrations, with complete Index of 13 pages and a list of books of reference. The author modestly states in his preface: " It is hoped that the present work may form a useful guide for beginners and those with limited time at their disposal, enabling them to acquire some knowledge of the leading features of the work referred to." A careful examination enables the reviewer to say that this hope is more than realized and the book is worthy of a place in any technical library.
