回顾F博士。W.兰彻斯特的书“尺寸理论及其在工程师中的应用”在1月9日的《自然》杂志上，我就附录六说：“在我看来，作者在一本公开的目的是帮助年轻工程师的书中包括这一节是不明智的。兰彻斯特博士曾写信给我，指出虽然这是写这本书的主要目的，但在序言中说，作者希望它“除了主要针对的人之外，还能为其他人服务。作为物理实验室工作人员的参考书，辅助同一主题的现有工作，它可以证明以简单直接的方式传达其信息的服务。
IN reviewing Dr. F. W. Lanchester's book “The Theory of Dimensions and its Application for Engineers” in NATURE of January 9, I stated with regard to Appendix VI that “in my opinion the author was unwise to include this section in a book the avowed object of which is to help the young engineer”. Dr. Lanchester has written to me pointing out that although this was the primary object of writing the book, it is stated in the preface that the author hopes that it “may be found of service to others besides those to whom it is primarily addressed. As a book of reference for workers in the physical laboratory, auxiliary to existing works on the same subject, it may prove of service as conveying its message in a simple and direct manner”.
