A First Course in Physics. By Robert Andrews Millikan, Ph. D., and Henry 

 Gordon Gale, Ph. D. Cloth. Pp. viii+488. Price, $1.25. Boston: Ginn 

 & Company, 1906. 



This book is written as if it were the intention to make the laboratory 

 work, which is given only in footnote references to a manual, teach the 

 text rather than for the text to teach the laboratory work. Unlike 

 many elementary physics the subject matter is presented in a logical and 

 a thoroughly comprehensible manner. A distinctive feature is the excel- 

 lence of the portraits and illustrations which are "in the fullest possible 

 sense educative."
