Abstract
THE rapid extension of the study of practical physics in recent years is shown by the number of books which have been published lately dealing with this subject, but we cannot say that much originality has been shown either in the mode of treatment or in subject matter. The exercises are generally those with which teachers are well acquainted. In this book the object of the authors has been to compile notes which will save the demonstrator as much separate explanation as possible. It will therefore be of use in laboratories where funds do not permit many assistant demonstrators to be employed.
