A System of Natural Philosophy; In Which Are Explained the Principles of Mechanics, Hydro-Statics, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Acoustics, Optics - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
The author has the satisfaction of being again called upon by the publishers for another revision of his Natural Philosophy, this being the sixth time it has been stereotyped. In this revision, in order to make room for new matter, some parts of the old, have been omitted, while others have been abridged, so that the book has not been enlarged, noris the matter so changed as to make it unfit for use in classes with the former edition. As before, the author has availed himself of the additions and improvements made by Professor Lees of the Naval and Military Academy of Edinburgh, and of those of Professor Hoblyn, Lecturer in The Institute of Medicines and A rts, London, these gentlemen having each done him the honor to associate their names with his, in two several editions of this work. The new matter incorporated in this edition, embraces a great variety of subjects, it having been the object of the author, to include all the most important discoveries and improvements in the arts, coming within the scope of his book, which have been made since the last edition. Besides those of lesser note, the following are thought of sufficient importance to attract the attention of the teacher and student, who are desirous of keeping up with the improvements of the times in the acquirement of philosophical knowledge.
