Abstract
THE appearance of a second volume of these valuable lectures on physics in industry evokes the thought— and the fear—that before long we may have a special society and a special journal devoted to this subject. But for the fact that engineering has hitherto been regarded as the one and only field of applied physics that matters, these would probably have seen the light many years ago. Industrial chemistry has long been in the public eye; industrial physics, apart from engineering, has yet to come into its own.

Vol. 2. By Dr. J. W. Mellor, Dr. A. E. Oxley, Prof. C. H. Desch. Pp. 48 + 6 plates. (London: Oxford University Press, 1924.) 3s. net.
