Abstract
FINDING from the title-page and preface that this work, though non-mathematical, undertakes to give an account of the acoustical discoveries of Helmholtz, we acknowledge having felt some misgivings when we commenced the perusal of it. We will presently inform our readers whether we found our fears justified or not by the book itself; but we must first state why we felt them.
