Présentation de l'éditeur
Motion. I cannot help thinking that the theory of Eqnilibrinm occupies too prominent a position in many of our Text books, and that the student obtains, in the problems of Statics, a very inadequate idea of Force and of its modes of expression. In the present arrangement I have followed that order which appears to me to be most logical, and which experience in teaching has shown to be practically advantageous. The book contains that amount of matter which a pupil may be expected to acquire in a first years course of instruction in the subject. It is divided into a number of Sections, which may serve as separate lessons, and should be studied in the order in which they occur. All important propositions are illustrated by numerical examples, worked out in the text, and the lessons are furnished with exercises progressively arranged. To render the work more especially serviceable to candidates for the Matriculation and Preliminary Scientific Examinations of the University of London, all questions set during the last few years have been classified, and appended to the several chapters to which they correspond Answers to the Exercises and Examination Questions are given at the end of the volume.

Présentation de l'éditeur
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.
