Abstract
A TREATISE on heat by one so eminent, both as physicist and teacher of Physics, needs no apology, and yet no doubt the author is right in stating that his work is adapted to the lecture-room rather than to the study or the laboratory. Freshness and vigour of treatment are its characteristics, and the intelligent student who reads it conscientiously will rise from it not merely with a knowledge of heat but of a good many other things besides.
Heat.
By P. G. Tait., Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1884.)
