Abstract
PROF. LAMB'S books on the various branches of mechanics require no introduction to the modern teacher and student of applied mathematics. By their fluency of diction, their easy mathematical style and their lucid presentation of the subject, they have displaced most of the old-established works. The interest in the announcement of a new edition lies consequently rather in what modifications the author could possibly make to improve an already excellent work.
