Abstract
THE greater part of this book is a reprint of the James Forrest lecture delivered by the author, and referred to already in NATURE of August 13, 1914. In the preface Mr. Lanchester lays so much stress on the new section called “The Theory of Sustentation” that no excuse is necessary for confining the remarks of this notice to the theory.
