Abstract
As an elementary text-book dealing with the physical processes which cause the sensation of sound, we think this deserves praise. It will certainly give the student the knowledge required before the more elaborate treatises can be read with profit. The author writes as a well-informed teacher, and that is equivalent to saying that he writes clearly and accurately. There are numerous books on acoustics, but few cover exactly the same ground as this, or are more suitable introductions to a serious study of the subject.
