Book excerpt: 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.
