In this volume Capt. Graham treats of fifteen types of everyday 

 people— the Actor Manager, the Gourmet, the Dentist, the Faddist, 

 the Colonel, and so forth— in the singularly facile and mgenious 

 verse for which he is well known. His poetry is often irresistibly 

 comic, and its spirit has been well caught by the artist who has 

 illustrated the book.

ELECTRICAL TRACTION. 



By ERNEST WILSON, Whit. Sch., M.I.E.E., 



Professokof Electrical Engineering in the Siemens Laboratory, King's College, London; 



AND FRANCIS LYDALL, B.A., B.Sc, A.I.E.E. 



New Edition. Rewritten and Greatly Enlarged. 



Two Volumes, sold separately. Demy Svo. 



Vol. I., with about 270 Illustrations and Index. 15s. net. 



Vol. IL, with about 170 Illustrations and Index. 15s. net. 



In dealing with this ever-increasingly important subject the 



authors have divided the work into the two branches which are, 



for chronological and other reasons, most convenient, namely, the 



utilization of direct and alternating currents respectively. Direct 



current traction taking the first place, the first volume is devoted 



to electric tramways and direct-current electric railways. In the 



second volume the application of three-phase alternating currents 



to electric railway problems is considered in detail, and finally the 



latest developments in single-phase alternating current traction are 



discussed at length. There is a separate Index to each volume, and 



in Volume I. an Appendix giving Board of Trade Regulations, 



Procedure, etc. In the case of both tramways and railways there 



are chapters on the financial aspects of these undertakings. 



A special feature of the book are the illustrations, which are ex- 

 ceptionally numerous and absolutely up to date.
