Abstract
THE call for a second edition shows that Dr. Smith's book is well appreciated, and it is clear that a great amount of work has been done in its preparation. Amongst the additions and improvements may bo noted the theory of dimensions in Part I, a remodelling of a great deal of Part II, an increase in the matter dealing with interference in Part III, a short section 011 supersonics in Part IV, and an entire rearrangement of Part V. Candidates in university scholarship examinations should now find all the material for answering the papers in physics, and the harder matter is carefully distinguished from that dealing with fundamentals, which latter is adequate for the needs of the intermediate or pass candidate, to whom the book can be highly recommended.
