Die Internationalen absoluten Masse insbesondere die elektrischen Masse

Abstract

IN preparing the third edition of this book, the author has, by introducing an amount of new matter, nearly equal to the whole of the second edition, sought to make the work, not only a complete study of the international system of units and measurement, and in particular of the electrical units, but also an introduction to the study of electrical engineering (siettrotecfyml). In a work dealing with such a subject, we should have thought the publishers would not have departed from the very sensible plan, adopted in practically all good German scientific books, of printing in the ordinary Roman type instead of in the German script. We can safely assert that the adoption of the German character will very considerably reduce the number of foreign readers.

Die Internationalen absoluten Masse insbesondere die elektrischen Masse.

By Dr. A. von Waltenhofen. Third edition. Pp. xi + 306. (Brunswick: Friedrich Vieweg und Sohn, 1902.) Price 8 marks.
