We have devoted a long day to familiarising ourself with its contents; and only regret that we have to close it. But what a contrast is there in the easy means by which the reader gains possession of the practical facts included in its pages, and the untiring industry with which the patient philosopher must have steadily pursued the path of experiment, month after month, and year after year, in order to accumulate these details."-ELECTRICAL MAGAZINE.
