The first paper, which is also the longest and perhaps the most important was published by subscription at Nottingham in 1828. It was in this paper that the term potential was first introduced to denote the result obtained by adding together the masses of all the particles of a system, each divided by its distance from a given point In this essay, which is divided into three parts, the properties of this function are first con sidered, and they are then applied, in the second and third parts, to the theories of magnetism and electricity respectively. The full analysis of this essay which the author has given in his Preface, renders any detailed description in this place unnecessary. In connexion with this essay, the corresponding portions ofT homson and Tait sN atural PhU oaophy should be studied, especially Appendix A. to Chap. I., and A rts. 482 660, inclusive. The next paper, On theL aws of theE quilibrium ofF luids analogous to theE lectric Fluid, was laid before the Cambridge Philosophical Society byS irE dward Ffrench Bromhead, in 1832. The law of repulsion of the particles of the supposed fluid here considered is taken to be inversely proportional to then power of the distance. This paper, though displaying great analytical power, is perhaps rather curious than practically interesting; and a similar remark applies to that which succeeds it, On the determination of the attractions of Ellipsoids of variable Densities, which, like its predecessor, was communicated to the Cambridge Philosophical Society byS ir E. F. Bromhead.

Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically importa
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
