A professor of thermody. namics wrote recently as follows: 'I like the idea of making the text largely self-explanatory'...

"A book to enjoy, as one may enjoy the beauty of a perfect and restful landscape- just such a landscape in fact as the author describes in its many aspects and moods. The story matters little. The love of a boy and a maid... has its own sufficient charm for any reader who has not a radical craving for restlessness; and the setting of that love, admirable in subdued tone and colour and restrained yet effective rhythm, should not only fulfill that charm, but also invest it with the permanency of a classic for all who value form in a chaotic era."- From "The Athenaeum."
