Abstract
IT is quite safe to predict that this book will be much used by medical students, for whom it is primarily intended, for it would be difficult to find one better suited to their peculiar requirements. The mathematics has been reduced to a minimum, and the presentation is probably as attractive as it can be made to students who are not as a rule prepared to take their physics very seriously; that is to say, who are somewhat averse from hard thinking and clear reasoning. It is very well printed and illustrated, and is remarkably good value.
