Abstract

THIS volume is a very sound introduction to the practical measurement of the properties of matter and the more important properties of heat. The book is strictly practical, no attempt being made to discuss theories; sufficient explanation is, however, usually given for a clear and intelligent appreciation of the succeeding experiment.
