Book Description
Excerpt from Natural Philosophy for the Use of Schools and Academies It has been the aim of the authors to state in clear, simple, and accurate terms the elementary facts and principles of Physics as they are understood at the present time, and the most important practical applications of these principles. This book is in no sense a revision of the Natural Philosophy of the "Cambridge Course of Physics," but an entirely new and independent work, differing from the earlier work both in matter and in method of presentation. The authors have striven to give due prominence to every department of the subject, and at the same time to bring the whole within reasonable limits. The province of Physics is now so extensive, while the time allotted to its study in our schools is usually so brief, and the tastes of teachers and the capacities of classes are so varied, that it is impossible to prepare a text-book that shall meet the requirements of all. The authors have endeavored to adapt this book to the wants of the greatest possible number by the use of two kinds of type. The fundamental facts and principles, and the simplest applications of these principles, are printed in the coarser type.

Excerpt from The Elements of Natural Philosophy: For the Use of Schools and Academies While the book is thus suited to the use of such schools as are unable to provide costly cabinets of apparatus, the standard pieces found in well selected cabinets are care fully described and figured, thus adapting the book to the use of schools well provided with apparatus. A carefully prepared syllabus, and series of questions for review, will be found following each chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Natural Philosophy: For High Schools and Academies The authors were led to prepare this series mainly that they might provide themselves with text-books containing an elementary view of the present state of the Physical Sciences. The general plan and method of the Course were worked out by Mr. Gillet, and thoroughly tested in the class-room by oral teaching, before there was any thought of publishing the books. The authors felt, from experience, that the elementary textbooks on Physics now in use are, as a class, deficient in two important particulars. First, they are sadly behind the times; and, secondly, they fail to give any systematic development of leading principles. A great revolution has taken place during the last twenty-five years in the departments of Chemistry, Electricity, and Heat In Chemistry this revolution has been so complete that the present theories of the science are currently known as "Modern Chemistry." The hypothesis of electric fluids has been swept away, and Heat has been shown to be a mode of molecular motion. It is but recently that Helmholtz has given the correct explanation of the formation of the vowel sounds, of resultants, and of dissonance; and that Tyndall and others have investigated the subject of sounding and sensitive flames. In Optics, too, the cause of long and short sightedness, and the way in which the eye adjusts itself for near and distant objects, have been correctly understood only within a few years. In Astronomy, also, the analysis of solar and stellar light by means of the spectroscope has led to discoveries of the highest interest; while recent investigation has thrown much light upon the nature of the photosphere and spots of the sun.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Natural Philosophy: Designed for Academies and High Schools In the present volume I have attempted to exhibit the leading principles of Natural Philosophy in a methodical and scientific form, without any use of the mathematics beyond the first elements of Algebra, Geometry, and Plane Trigonometry. Every principle is enunciated clearly and concisely, and, as far as practicable, I have exhibited the evidence upon which every principle rests. Even when the full demonstration involves an acquaintance with the more difficult parts of the mathematics, I have endeavored to give an outline of the philosophical principles upon which the mathematical demonstration is founded. Those principles which are considered specially important have been printed in italics, so as readily to attract the attention of the pupil. While the leading obj eet has been to teach general principles, care has been taken to combine with them a variety of useful information, and particularly to give an account of many recent discoveries in every branch of the science.
