Grundriss der Physik und Meteorologie

Abstract

IT is impossible to disguise or repress the feeling of covetousness with which this book of “Elements of Physics and Meteorology” fills an English reader. In a volume which, when completed, is to contain something less than 600 pages, we have an account of the fundamental phenomena of natural philosophy, which is at once readable and scientific. It is published at 6s., is illustrated with 600 admirable engravings, and is to be accompanied by a collection of examples which, with the chapter On heat, will make up the remainder of the book. It is just such another treatise— as copious and accurate, and at the same time as clear and concise—that is wanted in teaching the elements of natural philosophy in England. There are a hundred schools which are compelled to put up with books twice as big as boys care to read or carry, which would introduce such a book as this at once.
