Abstract
In this paper-covered pamphlet of eighty pages, which is sold for saxpence, Prof. Rice sets forth the doctrine of relativity: and not only this, but also (as prelimiriaries to it) the principles of Newtonian physics, he history of optics in the nineteenth century, and the Maxwell-Lorentz theory of electricity. It is a wonderful performance—judicious, scholarly, well written, and sparkling with apt comparisons and illustrations. A little masterpiece in every way.
