First Book In Natural Philosophy PDF Download

Excerpt from First Book in Natural Philosophy: For the Use of Schools and Academies The authors have endeavored to present in this little book a brief, simple, and accurate statement of those facts and principles of natural philosophy with which every one ought to be familiar, and which may at the same time serve as a foundation for a more extended course, in case the student has time and inclination to pursue the subject further. They have thus sought to make the book really what it claims to be in name, - a first book in natural philosophy. Great pains have been taken in the selection and arrangement of topics, and in giving due prominence to each. In order to make the book sufficiently brief, and at the same time to do justice to the recent remarkable advancement in our knowledge of the forces of Nature and in their practical application, it has been necessary to omit certain illustrative matter which some teachers will be likely to miss. We believe, however, that the illustrations and experiments given are all that are needed to make the text clear.
