Abstract
PROF. OLLIVIER'S “Cours de physique generale” has already been the subject of favourable notice in these columns. The present volume on advanced practical physics maintains the high standard we have been led to expect from the professor of physics of the University of Strasbourg. It forms the first part of a treatise on the subject, and contains an account of those experiments which are repeated each year by all students attending the advanced course. It is assumed that the student has already attended an elementary laboratory course, is familiar with the theory of many of the instruments, and has a fair knowledge of mathematics. Classical experiments predominate in this first volume, and the apparatus used is carefully constructed and tested. Many of the instruments described are expensive, and students are expected to use them with the utmost care and to obtain results of a high degree of accuracy.
