Abstract
(1) MR. HART'S text-book of heat is intended for use in the higher forms of secondary schools, for advanced students in technical colleges, and for those taking a pass degree examination at the university. The author has included in his book descriptions of many modern methods of determining thermal constants and results of recent experimental investigations. Although the calculus is introduced in the section on thermodynamics, a knowledge of elementary algebra and geometry will suffice for the perusal of the greater part of the book. The text is furnished with a large number of clearly drawn diagrams, but the exposition in some parts is open to considerable criticism.
