Abstract

(1) OF this group of volumes the first is undoubtedly the most important. Since, however, it is the third edition which is before us, and very few changes have been made, it calls only for a short notice. These changes consist of alterations in the arrangement of the matter and a revision of the text here and there wherever it was found possible to make the exposition clearer. These changes have been made under the editorship of Dr. M. Abraham. The result is to improve a book of exceptionally high standing. We do not hesitate to affirm that we have in it one of the best expositions of Maxwellian doctrine, and at the same time one of the best introductions to vector analysis.
