Abstract
THIS part of the work, by M. Beghin and Prof. Julia of the Faculty of Science of the University of Paris, contains six chapters dealing with fundamental laws, general theorems, work and power, virtual work, impulsive motion, and Lagrange's equations as applied to this type of motion. Each chapter contains a short theoretical introduction and a collection of illustrative examples worked out in detail. These are usually of a fairly advanced type, and frequently deal with interesting physical or engineering problems. The book should be useful to the teacher in search of problems or to the student working alone from text-books.
