Abstract
THIS massive volume forms the first of a series of seven in which Prof. Becquerel proposes to deal with the various branches of physics. One cannot but feel awe as well as admiration at the boldness of such an undertaking, but if the remaining volumes reach the standard here set, the author must indeed receive our congratulations on a truly monumental work. Having faithfully accomplished the task of cutting the 430 pages of the present instalment, the reviewer would earnestly request the publishers to amend their methods by subjecting the remaining volumes to the guillotine.
