Abstract
IT is a pleasure to welcome a general text-book of physics by one of the younger generation of physicists, who has had wide experience in the modern methods of teaching and investigation. Since the general recognition of physics as an experimental science, these methods have changed so much that, although one could not but admire the skill and perseverance shown in re-editing the older text-books and writing them up to date, it was obvious that a great improvement could be effected by making a fresh departure.
