Abstract
PROF. AUERBACH has embodied in this little book of 150 pages upon the chief discoveries in physics the result of notes made during many years for his personal use, in preparation for lectures. It consists of three parts: part i. (110 pages) is a chronological list of the main steps in the development of physics, with the year and the name of the discoverer, but without citing either the authority or the reference by which the discovery is fixed, and extending down to the year 1900. Part ii. (17 pages), a list of selected works, monographs, treatises, and text-books, with their authors, also to the year 1900. Part iii. (5 pages) is a selected list of leading physicists, except those still living, with their years of birth and death. There is also an alphabetical index of names.
