A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Excerpt from Elements of Physics

Means by which we obtain a Knowledge of Nature. - We are provided with means of gaining a knowledge of the things about us. We hear sounds, we see light, we smell odours, we feel heat, we feel the contact of other things, and we taste. Thus we have six gates through which information concerning the outside world may reach us. These gates are called senses, and any information received through one of them is called a sensation. Moreover, we have the power of reasoning; and through our senses, aided by reasoning, we acquire what knowledge of nature we can.

Our Senses Sometimes Deceive Us

It must not be forgotten that we are often deceived by our senses, or, it may be, by our reasoning.
