Abstract
IT was neither to be expected nor to be desired that any alteration of the general plan of Lord Rayleigh's “Sound” should be introduced in a new edition. A few errors have been detected and corrected (they are very few indeed), and the book has been considerably enlarged; but the characteristic features of the new portions are those of the old, and our admiration is again aroused by the skilful interweaving of theory and experiment, each supporting and adorning the other.
The Theory of Sound.
By J. W. Strutt Baron Rayleigh Second edition, revised and enlarged. Two volumes. Pp. xiv + 480, and xvi + 504. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1894 and 1896.)
