ABSTRACT THE subject of this excellent little book includes the mechanical properties of matter, and much that is usually treated under the head of Chemical Physics, such as Diffusion and
Capillarity. It might be difficult to give a reason why the electric and thermal conductivities of mercury, for example, should not be included among its properties as much as its density
and its capillarity; but the distinction is convenient, and to some extent sanctioned by usage. _Properties of Matter_. By Prof. Tait. (Edinburgh: Black, 1885.) Access through your
