Abstract
MR. NIGHTINGALE has written a sound and interesting book, covering that dreary stretch in the older text-books, the elements of mechanics and hydrostatics. In general it can be commended strongly as a book which will appeal to that elusive being the normal boy. It reasons in a way he can understand; all its arguments are clear and lead somewhere soon. Both pictorial and literal illustrations are good. The large number of questions from the usual examination papers have been chosen well and are very useful.
