Abstract
By H. J. Gray London : Longmans, Green and Co. Ltd. Pp. x + 544. Price 84s. Aldous Huxley once said that the best reading on holiday was to be found in a volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica chosen at random ; a dictionary provides something of the same inconsequent fascination, but unless it is of monumental size suffers from the defect that it dispenses its information in exasperatingly small doses. This Dictionary of Physics succeeds in satisfying the inquirer because many articles are long enough to give a bird's eye view of the subject, and references to other authorities are frequent and to the point.
