Abstract
WITHIN the last two or three years the whole of acoustics has been surveyed in several important books. Richardson's “Sound” has covered the experimental field, Crandall's “Vibrating Systems and Sound” may well be regarded as a third volume of Rayleigh's classical work, whilst the more specialised volume, Davis and Kaye's “Acoustics of Buildings”, deals with a subject of great practical importance which has been neglected even in its applications to the lecture theatres of the physical departments of some of our universities.
