Abstract
SCIENTIFIC writers in the United States appear to have laboured under smaller difficulties due to war conditions than British authors. Here are two new American text-books, of which the first is sure to be welcomed by a wide circle of readers, whilst the second is adapted for a special class of students.

By Prof. James P. C. Southall. Pp. xix + 579. (New York: The Macmillan Co.; London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1918.) Price 17s. net.
(2) Notes, Problems, and Laboratory Exercises in Mechanics, Sound, Light, Thermo-mechanics, and Hydraulics. Prepared for Use in Connection with the Course in Natural and Experimental Philosophy at the United States Military Academy.
By Prof. Halsey Dunwoody. Pp. v + 369. (New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.; London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1917.) Price 13s. 6d. net.
