A DICTIONARY OF
ELECTRICAL WORDS,
TERMS AND PHRASES,
By EDWIN J. HOUSTON. A.M.
562 Large Octavo Paget.570 Illustrations.Price, $5.00.
Some idea of the scope of this timely and important work and of this timely amount of labor involved in it, may be formed when it is stated that it contains definitions of about 5,000 Distinct Words, Terms or Phrases.
The Dictionary is not a mere word book. The words, terms and phrases are invariably followed by a short, concise definition, giving the sense in which they are correctly employed and a general statement of the principles of electrical science on which the definition is founded.
As one feature, an elaborate system of cross references has been adopted, so that it is as easy to find the definitions as the words, and aliases are readily detected and traced:
The typography is excellent, being large and bold, and so arranged that each word catches the eye at a glance by standing out in sharp relief from the page.
Copies of the Dictionary, or of any other Electrical Work published, will be mailed to any address in the world, postage prepaid, on receipt of price. Remit by P. O. Order, Draft, Registered Letter or Express and address:
