 Longman, Brown, Green, and Longman, London. 1846. Cultivators 

 of Natural Philosophy in this country will prize Mr West's judicious 

 translation of the " Elements of Physics " of the distinguished Princi- 

 pal of the Royal Military College at Dresden — a work very favourably 

 known on the Continent, and which, ive doubt not, will be equally well 

 received in Britain. The numerous diagro7ns and ivoodcuts with

 all the measures are reduced to English standards, and the centigrade

 those calculated for the centigrade division are likeivise retained, for 

 the convenience of any student who may have occasion to refer to fo- 

 reign scientific works.
