Abstract
THE primary justification of a treatise on cosmical physics is to be sought in the principle that economy of communication is of the very essence of science. The author of such a book cannot hope to deal so competently with the individual subjects as the experts to whose writings he must have recourse for his own knowledge, but his work will be a real contribution to the progress of science if he succeeds in imparting unity to his treatment of subjects which have been developed by different workers, each more or less superficial in his knowledge and appreciation of the work of those outside his own branch. Judged from this point of view Prof. Trabert's book is successful. It has been developed according to a definite and well-ordered scheme.
