Abstract
DR. CAURO'S book is good enough to make one wish it were better. Its chief faults are negative, and may be summed up in the words excessive concentration. When it is stated that within the limits of eighty pages the author gives an analysis of the theory of refrigeration and the changes of physical state involved, a description of the methods and apparatus of scientific investigators and of the machines employed in industrial work, a historical résumé of the progress of this branch of knowledge, and a review of the actual and possible applications of cold, it will be easily imagined that most of the work must be too sketchy to be of real use to any one.
