This work has been written in the hope of supplying a want which I believe is very widely felt; viz. of a book which explains the elementary principles of Dynamics, illustrating them by numerous easy numerical examples in a manner suitable for use in Schools with boys of ordinary mathematical attainments. I have adopted a suggestion, due I believe to MrH ay ward, F.R.S., of Harrow School that the first part of the book should treat exclusively of Linear Dynamics; thus avoiding, at the beginning of the subject, all purely geometrical difficulties. It will be found that, with the exception of one or two A rticles, Sections I. and IV. (which may be read separately, and in which the fundamental Principles of Dynamics are explained) demand only a knowledge of Simple Equations in A lgebra. In no case is any greater knowledge on the part of the Student assumed, than is denoted by Progressions in A lgebra, the Trigonometry of one A ngle, and (in Chapters IX. and X.) the Parabola. I have ventured to suggest names for the units of velocity and acceleration, the use of which will be found to simplify considerably the language of the subject. I should be greatly obliged to those who may make use of the book if they would point out any defects or obscurities in the text or would offer suggestions for its improvement.
