Abstract
THIS work of 114 pages contains a syllabus-outline of the course of lectures in Natural Philosophy by Dr. Molloy, at the Catholic University of Ireland, and is reprinted chiefly to meet the wants of teachers in intermediate schools. To the syllabus, which is remarkably full and complete, is appended an extensive series of examination papers on all branches of physics except light, electricity, and magnetism, which are promised to follow. These questions, though chiefly elementary, have been carefully prepared, and are a valuable part of the work. In an appendix Dr. Molloy reprints a paper giving an account of his particular form, of bichromate battery, which appears to be peculiarly suited to the needs of schools and colleges, where a powerful battery of convenient form is required to be in readiness for occasional use.
