Présentation de l'éditeur
The best apology that can be offered for presenting this volume to public notice, will be found in the reason which suggested its compilation, viz., the absence of any system of physics, sufficiently extended to include all those subjects with which men of education, especially members of a liberal and important profession like that of medicine, ought, and are required, to be familiar with; and at the same time not too diffuse to disgust or weary the student. To the student of medicine, and chemistry in particular, the want of a concise and yet sufficiently comprehensive work on physics has been long felt; as, without an acquaintance with the physical sciences, his professional education must be considered as far from complete; and, independently of this, a knowledge of the principles of these sciences has long been rendered imperative at the different medical boards, and has constituted an important part of the examination which the candidate for a diploma is called upon to undergo.
