Abstract
THE first volume of this book, which was reviewed in NATURE for November 3, 1900, is of a theoretical character, and deals with the stream lines in a perfect liquid considered especially with reference to the motions set up by moving solids and in particular pulsating, oscillating, or moving spheres. In it were obtained results now well known to students of hydrodynamics showing the existence of attractions and repulsions between the spheres, bearing a considerable analogy to the forces occurring in gravitation and other physical phenomena.
