NOTICES OF BOOKS. xxix 



Altogether, the book ought to be of use in stimulating a desire for a fuller knowledge of 

 the natural processes going on around us, and, from its bright and interesting character, 

 should be a favourite amongst the cloud of primers of Natural Knowledge. 



Electric Light for Country Houses. By John Henry Knight. London : Crosby, Lockwood, 



& Son, 1895. 

 This is a small manual of under a hundred pages dealing with the problem of lighting 

 country houses by means of electricity. Chapters are devoted to the Dynamo, Motive Power, 

 Fittings, Accumulators, and an important item — Cost. In an appendix are given instructions 

 for working a Dynamo, and an explanation of certain constantly recurring terms. The book 

 is written in a plain and straightforward manner ; the explanations are clear and readily 

 understood, and the few illustrations introduced fulfil their purpose.
