%* This work deals primarily with the ordinary processes of GAS MANUFACTURE 

 employed in this country, and aims especially at indicating the principles on which 

 they are based. The more modern, but as yet subsidiary, processes are fully treated also. 



The Chapters on Gas Analysis and Photometry will enable the consumer to 

 grasp the methods by which the quality of the gas he uses is ascertained, and in the 

 Chapter on The Applications Of Gas, not only is it discussed as an illuminant, but 

 also as a ready source of heat and power. 



The Incandescent Gas Light is dealt with in an exhaustive manner, and the 

 latest theories of its physical basis, as well as the practical developments of lighting 

 by Incandescence, are thoroughly discussed. 



In Chapter X. an attempt has been made to trace in a readily-intelligible manner 

 the extraction ot the principal derivatives from the crude BYE-PRODUCTS. 



The work deals incidentally with the most modern features of the industry, in- 

 cluding inter alia the commercial production and uses of Acetylene, to which a 

 special Chapter is devoted in the new Edition, and the application of compressed gas 

 for Street Traction. The needs of the Students in Technical Colleges and Classes have 

 throughout been kept in view.
