Abstract
A CLEARLY-PRINTED and well-arranged text-book of hydrostatics for colleges and schools. The subjects and order of the eight chapters are: states of matter, fluid pressure, propositions of fluid pressure, fluid-thrust centre of pressure, floating bodies, measurement of specific gravities, pressure of the atmosphere, hydrostatic machines. The descriptions are clearly written, and the exercises are numerous. Moreover, the treatment is experimental; so that altogether the book is calculated to give a good grasp of the fundamental principles of hydrostatics.
