Abstract
WHEN we reviewed the first volume of this work on the motor vehicle, we pointed out how difficult it is adequately to review encyclopdic matter, which in this instance occupies 660 pages of letter-press, accompanied by upwards of 400 illustrations. Mr. Beaumont has, in this second volume, supplied many of the omissions and corrected some of the mistakes which existed in his first volume, so that now the two volumes, taken together, form a valuable work of reference, not only for the general public interested in the motor movement, but of considerable value to professional engineers.
