Abstract
THIS contains the usual elementary exercises in physics, and it is not obvious what special advantages it offers. Many of the diagrams are very bad, and the printing is poor. Examples are given for the students to follow; thus we find the product in Boyle's law carried to six significant figures, and the latent heat of fusion of ice to five figures. How often are we to cry out against this?
