Présentation de l'éditeur
At the same time it is hoped that students who use this manual will be able to master the elements of the science in such a way that they may rise from it to more advanced treatises, not only without having anything to unlearn, but with a very sound knowledge of principles. Copious illustrations and explanations have been inserted, and the needs of students who are without the aid of a teacher have been kept steadily in view. The subject is treated as an introduction toP hysics, and its laws are deduced from the first principles of familiar experience rather than from special experiment. Experiments in Mechanics have a subordinate though most useful part in illustrating and emphasising the facts, but the author has no faith in making the establishment of principles depend on special experiments. So also in Geometry: drawing, measuring, and weighing may well be used for purposes of instruction and illustration, but propositions should be otherwise proved.
