Abstract
DR. F. TYLER'S collection of experiments is intended to cover the practical work required for higher school certificate and university scholarships, and also for first-year university courses. Most of the really profitable class experiments which can be done with simple apparatus are included, and this carefully chosen list probably represents the highest common factor of all courses of this standard. Instructions, of the kind usually issued to students as 'manuscripts', explain the operations required, and show how the readings should be set out and the results calculated. The theory of each experiment is given in some detail, and, where the results are to be plotted, notes on the full interpretation of the graph are supplied.
