Abstract
THE object of this book is to train students so that they may be useful in research, testing and development work. Perhaps it is too much to hope that all the information given can be assimilated in thirty laboratory lessons; but the book can be commended. It is stated (p. 101) that “the growth of modern physics dates from the time of the conception of the electrical theory of matter”. If this is regarded as the definition of ‘modern physics’, evidence can be produced in support of it, but we think that it rather limits its scope.
