Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Physics, Experimental and Descriptive This book is the outgrowth of an attempt, covering a period of six years, to teach physics to young pupils in a manner which combines simplicity of language and presentation with the important manifestations of matter which constantly make up their environment. It is the aim of the text to combine experimental and descriptive instruction in order that both may be better understood. The authors have sought throughout this book to keep constantly before the pupils things and phenomena which they can see and observe. Plain, logical, and accurate statements of fact and explanations have been sought. Formulated statements of definitions and principles relating to the subject have been brought out, and as far as practicable, the application has been shown and illustrated. It has not been the intention to produce a complete work on any particular phase of the subject, but such an elementary treatment of first principles as it is hoped will prove helpful and welcome. Most of the apparatus used in the work can be made at home, and will be a means of keeping interested many a boy who otherwise might not be. Such further apparatus as is needed may be secured at very moderate prices from Messrs. Alfred L. Robbins & Co., or Messrs. Walmsley, Fuller & Co., of Chicago, or the L. E. Knott Apparatus Co. of Boston and New York. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
