Excerpt from Electric Light Installations and the Management of Accumulators This little book aims at filling a gap which, in practical scientific literature, is very ticeable. It presents to the reader a general survey of the practice of Electric Lighting and the management of accumulators, with such recommendations as are likely to assist him in obtaining successful results. The former editions were so rapidly disposed of that it was evident a demand for such a work existed in this country, as well as abroad, since it has been translated into the German and French languages. A fifth edition having been called for, the opportunity has been taken of thoroughly revising, and greatly enlarging the work. The introduction of many new plates, will, it is hoped, render the texts more intelligible to the reader and familiarise the eye with the manufactures of different makers; thus meeting what appears to be one of the requirements at the present moment. Two new chapters have been added. Several errors in previous editions have w been carefully corrected. The second part of this edition has been so much enlarged that it was thought advisable to alter the title of the volume.
