Abstract
FEW examination candidates are likely to base their studies on a book in a foreign language adapted to foreign courses; and it is therefore unnecessary to consider here the merits of this work for the purpose for which it is primarily intended. It will suffice to say that none but the ablest students could master it unaided. But as an exposition of the fundamental propositions of mathematical physics, from which those of us who have passed the examination stage may refresh our memories concerning what we once knew, or were officially credited with knowing, the volume exhausts our vocabulary of praise. There are no native works which profess to cover the same range, and few of any merit which cover part of it.
