Abstract
ONE'S first feelings upon picking up this book are that here is a volume that deals with the application of a somewhat nebulous physical science to concrete engineering problems, written by an author singularly competent to link up the two subjects. Unfortunately, the subject is not dealt with from that point of view to anything like the extent possible. The author principally confines himself to the description of apparatus and its use, doubtless with an eye upon the size and readability of the book. There are, however, ample references to relevant publications that enable the subject matter to be followed up if desired. The chapter on the measurement of height is a happy exception to this criticism. It is probably the most comprehensive study of this question published to date.
