Abstract
(1) PROF. BARNARD'S new book makes an ex-cellent text-book for the higher years in pass degree courses and for the first part of honours courses in applied mathematics. The scope is that generally expected, a chapter on forces in three dimensions being included. In treatment the book is orthodox and safe, so orthodox in fact that centres of gravity are left to quite a late chapter, as if the finding of centres of gravity were an aim in itself. The proof of the vector property of couples is very effective.
