Abstract
DURING the last fifteen years electric discharge lamps have been developed to an extent which makes them now a commercial product of the first importance. Uyterhoeven published an excellent survey of the subject (Julius Springer, Berlin, 1938), but there is no English translation and his book is already partly out of date. Prof. Cotton's book, the first in the English language, is therefore to be welcomed. It has been written mainly with the requirements of the electrical and the illuminating engineer in mind.
