Abstract
THIS is by no means a new book. In its present l·form it appeared in 1938. But like most service text-books it is a compilation which represents a more modern version of an earlier work. It is none the worse for that. On the contrary, it is well written, well and lavishly illustrated, and it is excellently produced. The index, as befits a work of reference of this extent, is full and satisfactory.
