Abstract
SINCE the sixth edition of Milne's book in 1913—the year of his death—nothing has been published in Great Britain to take its place, although with the great development of seismology in post-War years the book has long been completely out of date. The wealth of material and its wide range make the task a formidable one, and Dr. Lee is to be congratulated warmly on the discrimination, even more than on the skill that he has shown, in completely rewriting the book. It would be quite fan to say that he has used Milne's “Earthquakes” rather as an example of the spirit in which a treatise should be written.
