Abstract
THE importance of the strength and elasticity of the materials employed in engineering construction is well reflected in the frequency with which treatises on the subject appear. Prescott's book, with the same title as the volume at present under notice, was a specially notable contribution made a few years ago; but rather more abstract and mathematical than is perhaps desired by the majority of engineers. The volume here considered does not refrain from mathematical discussion, nor does it make any strenuous endeavour to simplify such methods, but it deals throughout with problems of definite practical moment, and its matter is hi all respects up-to-date.
