Acoustics, Light, and Heat

Abstract

THIS is a good specimen of a series of text-books, among which Dr. Guthrie's capital compendium of Magnetism and Electricity, and several other valuable works have appeared. It is stated, in a brief preface, to be founded on notes of the late Dr. W. S. Davis of Derby, who was to have undertaken its preparation, and to whom the first chapter, as well as the Appendix on the Doctrine of Energy, are due.

Acoustics, Light, and Heat.

By William Lees, M.A., &c. Glasgow: Collins, Sons, and Co., 1877, (Coilins's Advanced Science Series.)
