SOUND; A Course of EIGHT LECTURES delivered at the Royal Few scientific works have been more rapidly or more deservedly successful than this admirable treatise, which has been translated into French and German and republished in the United States. It is a beautifully written work, eloquent and poetical in style, correct and accurate in expression and thought. It cannot be praised too highly, or too widely diffused.' The STUDENT. 'The contents of Professor TYNDALL'S book are of so attractive a nature, and recommend themselves so strongly, not only to the dilettante lover of knowledge, but to those who are earnestly engaged in the cultivation of science, that we are not surprised a second edition has been speedily called for. Having already noticed at length, in our review of the first edition, the characteristic features of the work, the number and ingenuity of the experiments (in which Professor TYNDALL stands without a rival), the felicitous explanations and varied illustrations, we need here make no further remark than to say that the present is a reprint of the former edition, with the exception of a chapter containing a summary of the recent researches of M. REGNAULT, written by himself. This contains some interesting observations on the propagation of sound in closed tubes, in which it is shewn that the diameter of the tube makes a considerable difference in the intensity with which the wave is propagated through it, diminishing rapidly the smaller the section of the tube. . . There are other interesting facts described in reference to the velocity of the propagation of waves, which we have not space to give, but which will well repay perusal.' The LANCET. HEAT A MODE OF MOTION. Third Edition, with Alterations and Additions. Plate and 108 Woodcuts. Crown 8vo. price 10s. 6d. 'Beyond question the best and clearest popular exposition of the dynamical theory of heat that has yet been given to the public.' SPECTATOR. 'A want had long been felt among engineers for a clear and intelligible work on the mechanical theory of heat, and which should at the same time give an account of the scope of the experiments and numerical data upon which the theory is founded. This want is supplied by Professor TYNDALL'S book. The clear style of the work adapts it to the most ordinary capacities; and the reader is raised to the level of these questions from a basis so elementary that a person possessing any imaginative faculty and power of concentration can easily follow the subject. Popular as Professor TYNDALL'S exposition is, we are convinced that the most accomplished man of science would rise from its perusal with an additional amount of information.'
