Abstract
THE author has embodied in this volume in a connected form the contents of a number of manuscripts which he had from time to time written for the use of students attending his class in practical physics at the Cavendish Laboratory. Chapters i. and ii., consisting of 70 pages, give an account of the elementary theory of elasticity, with solutions of some special mathematical problems. Chapter iii., pp. 71–161, describes the experiments—numbered 1 to 14—prescribed for the student. Pages 162–183 comprise ten short notes, mostly on mathematical subjects. There is a table of contents and an index.
