Description

This book tells us much about the understanding of experts at the turn of the century. The later Hill book is, without doubt, a huge leap forward because of the depth of research and the experience of its authors. But Petherick was a leading figure of his time, whose ideas were current and respected. First published in 1898.
Hardback. 82pp.
