HIGGINS' "Lessons in Physics" provides a thorough 

 course in physics for schools which offer little or 

 no laboratory work. Principles are explained by 

 references to common or familiar phenomena rather than to 

 set laboratory experiments. In fact, throughout the work the 

 central aim has been to give the student an intimate knowl- 

 edge of the physical manifestations that are most commonly 

 met in our daily experience. Commercial and industrial uses 

 of the various principles are mentioned and discussed in 

 connection with the principles themselves. 



The author has taken great pains to secure simplicity and 

 clearness of expression; facts are explained so that the pupil 

 is led to think them through and thus to fix them in mind. 

 In arranging the material, attention is paid to developing a 

 logical succession of ideas rather than to collecting a mass 

 of facts and theories. Technical words are in most cases 

 defined when they first appear. For words which are not 

 thus explained a glossary is appended to the text. 



As a whole, this is a text-book designed to present with- 

 out required laboratory work a comprehensive view of the 

 subject of physics in a manner which will be interesting, and 

 at the same time strictly accurate.
