Abstract
THIS is a good elementary treatise; not too elementary, and yet a book that hard-working students may use from the beginning of their studies. It is a pity that the author ignores altogether the sort of work that is now getting to be very common, even in the older universities—experimental laboratory work in mechanics—but we have here an excellent text-book, even for students who are following an experimental course.
Elements of Mechanics.
By Thomas Wallace Wright Pp. v + 372. (New York: Van Nostrand. London: Spon, 1896.)
