Palmer, Albert De Forest. 530.8 P19
Theory of measurements. 1912. McGraw.
Not concerned with methods of measurement but wholly with theory. Deals largely
with consideration of accidental errors and least squares.
"As a well planned and well written treatise for the scientific laboratory investigator,
the book will have a permanent place." Engineering news, 1913.

Origin and antiquity of man. 1912. Bibliotheca Sacra Co.
Interesting study and discussion of evidence offered by geology, with briefer attention
to that given by history, philology, physiology and psychology. Author concludes
that "while the antiquity of man cannot be less than ten thousand it need not be more
than fifteen thousand years."
