Abstract
I HAVE unwittingly done an injustice to Mr. R. H. Duncan's book on “Practical Curve Tracing” (vol. lxxxiii., p. 461). I judged by the review of it in NATURE of June 9 that it deals only with the subject indicated by its title. After writing to you regretting that no author deals with practical curve analysis, I bought Mr. Duncan's book, and find that, after describing each class of curve and how to trace it, he gives clear directions for reversing the process and deducing a formula from a given curve. So far as it goes, the book excellently meets the want which I expressed, and my only regret is that the author has not developed the subject a little further.
