“The general plan of treatment appears to be a general popular enunciation of the matter of a section, followed by the more detailed discussion of the experiments, apparatus, etc., and ending with a historical review and bibliography. This excellent plan has, however, at times fallen into the natural mistake of making the popular introduction so full as to result in an unnecessary and rather confusing repetition of matter, often leaving the reader uncertain as to whether he has read all on a given topic or not.”—Educ. R.
“In spite of the shortcomings in many of the details, the book contains very much valuable matter and will prove a desirable addition to the library of every physicist.” William Hallock.

“The combination of simplicity with accuracy of statement is the essential feature of a practicable book for use with beginners in college, and it may justly be said of Professor Ames’ volume that it possesses this combination of qualities to an unusual degree.” E. L. N.
