SCIENTIFIC LITEHATCRE. 



567 



of the Cambridge Natural Science Manuals 

 to reach us, Prof. R. T. Glazebrook has em- 

 bodied the results of his experience as a 

 teacher both in the laboratory and its ad- 

 junct, the lecture room. The first portion of 

 the book deals with dynamics, the second 

 with statics, and the third and last with hy- 

 drostatics two hundred and eight pages in 

 all. Each physical law is illustrated by means 



of simple apparatus and experiments, and ex- 

 amples are scattered through the text for 

 testing the student's grasp of each principle. 

 The book is well printed and bound ; illustra- 

 tions are used where necessary ; and although 

 the work is by no means a complete treatise, 

 it seems thoroughly good as far as it goes, 

 and well suited to the needs of elementary 

 students (Macmillan, $2.25).
