Abstract
(1) PROBABLY no branch of physics is so poorly represented by text-books as that of sound. Between very elementary volumes and Lord Rayleigh's masterly treatise very little exists. The former are too trivial, while the latter is far too severe for the first or second year senior undergraduate. For this reason, amongst others, the present volume will be received gladly by both teacher and student, for it very adequately fills the gap in our expositional literature.
