Abstract
THIS volume has been designed to cover the School Certificate and Matriculation courses in mechanics and hydrostatics. The author has presented the subject matter in a very lucid and interesting manner, and a noteworthy feature is the number of excellent photographic reproductions illustrating the practical applications in industry of the principles discussed. It will also be encouraging to up-to-date teachers to find that the author has adopted the policy of treating absolute units as fundamental from the earliest stages.
