Excerpt from Elements of Natural Philosophy: Including Mechanics and Hydrostatics
This volume is the first of a work designed to exhibit a Comprehensive View of the Principles of Natural Philosophy. Though compiled chiefly for the use of my Students, it is written, I hope, with sufficient expansion, to suit the taste of the public at large. I have endeavoured to render it as elementary as possible, without departing from the accuracy of science. No previous instruction is required, except an acquaintance with the simplest rudiments of Geometry and Algebra; but I would earnestly recommend the study of Geometrical Analysis to all those who aspire to the higher attainments.
