EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES. “ Schools and Colleges will certainly benefit by adopting this book for their students.” Nature. “ Mr Glazebrook’s volumes on Heat and Light deal with these subjects from the experimental side and it is difficult to admire sufficiently the ingenuity and simplicity of many of the experiments without losing sight of the skill and judgment with which they are arranged.” Saturday Review. “The books almost cover the advanced stages of the South Kensing¬ ton prospectus and their use can certainly be recommended to all who wish to study these subjects with intelligence and thoroughness.” Schoolmaster. “Mr Glazebrook’s great practical experience has enabled him to treat the experimental aspect of the book with unusual power and it is in this that the great value of the book as compared with most of the ordinary manuals consists.” Educational Reviezv. “The book is very simply and concisely written, is clear and methodic in arrangement....We recommend the book to the attention of all students and teachers of this branch of physical science.” Educational News. “We wish Mr Glazebrook every success on the extension of his practical system to all the Colleges and Schools of the country. It is the only way in which the interest of the student can be awakened and the study of the subject made popular and real.” Technical World. “ It will be especially appreciated by teachers who possess the necessary apparatus for experimental illustrations.” Athenaeum. “Text-books on this subject are generally too simple or too elaborate for a conception of elementary mechanical principles. This book cannot fail to recommend itself therefore for a first course preliminary to the study of physical science. No other book presents in the same space with the same clearness and exactness so large a range of mechanical principles.” Physical Review. “Marked ability has been shewn in the development of the subject of Statics in the present volume. ...The collected examples for students’ exercises are excellent.” Glasgow Herald.
