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 ingenious 
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.

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.
