Book Description
Excerpt from Physics the Elements The other fault is a complete lack of reference to the work of others. My large index of references was lost in the disorder of war-time removals, and I had no chance, and no time, to replace it. But perhaps the omission is not an unmixed evil. As is pointed out in the Introduction, there is very little original in the substance of the book; there is hardly a paragraph which is not a paraphrase of something that can be found in well-known treatises or papers. If complete references were given, the notes would be almost as bulky as the text, and the book would be quite unreadable; if they were in complete, they would probably be misleading and might cause offence. Moreover if anything valuable has been added to a mere compilation of what everyone knew before, it arises from a unity conferred by the passage of all this matter through a single mind; for though the conclusions reached are seldom new, they have not been easy to reach, but represent many hours of strenuous thought and result from many changes of opinion. Such unity, it seems to me, might be destroyed if the reader were constantly reminded of what others have said on the matter, even if they only said the same things in rather different words.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Physics The authors have prepared this book in the belief that physics should be so taught as to be a desirable and even essential subject for every pupil in the secondary schools. In its preparation they have therefore devoted much study to the conditions which obtain in the schools at the present time, and have endeavored to meet them. The book is designed to provide a year's work for the class room, and only such matter has been introduced as is deemed appropriate for pupils of the high-school age and attainments. Laboratory exercises, questions, and problems given in a text-book are manifestly inadequate and unsatisfactory. The authors have therefore thought it preferable not to follow that course, but to amplify and make more thorough this part of the study in a separate volume, which is published under the title Physical Experiments, and is to be used concurrently with the textbook. The relations of physics on all sides to human life and human interests have been emphasized. A text-book is much more readable if the material for the laboratory work is excluded from it.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Elements of Physics Again, if a small quantity of water be put into an empty vessel, it will partly fill it, and assume the shape of that part of the vessel occupied by it. Such fluids are called Liquids. If, however, a small quantity of air be put into a closed and empty vessel, it will expand and fill the vessel, irrespective of its size. Such fluids are called Gases. All simple and many compound substances, as water, can be made to pass successively through all three states by suitable adjustments of temperature and pressure.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Chemical Physics Physical and Chemical Changes. - If, next, we study the various changes to which all substances are liable, we shall find that they also may be divided into two classes; - first, those changes by which the specific properties are not altered; and, see ondly, those by which the specific properties are essentially modi fied, and the identity of the substance lost. Thus a mass of copper may be transported to a distant part of the globe, it may be di vided into exceedingly small particles, it may be melted and cast into nails, it may be coined; but yet, although the position, the size, or the external shape is thus entirely changed, those quali ties which distinguish copper, which make it to be copper, are not altered. Water may be frozen by cold or converted into steam by heat, yet the water is not destroyed; for if the ice be melted, or the steam condensed, fluid water reappears, with all its characteristic properties. A bar of iron, when in contact with a magnet, becomes itself magnetic, and acquires the power of attracting small particles of iron. So also a stick of sealing wax, if rubbed with a silk handkerchief, becomes electrified, and endowed with the power of attracting light pieces of paper; but the peculiar properties of iron and sealing-wax are not essentially modified by these changes. Such changes, which do not destroy the identity of substance, are called Physical Changes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Physics, Vol. 1 In rendering this work into English, the translator has endeavoured to give a faithful version without doing violence to the idioms of our own language, and has in closed in brackets the additions which he has made in two or three instances to the original text. From page 233. To page he has substituted the methods given by Baily and Littrow for the barometric measurement of altitudes for that of the author, which was both more involved than theirs, and also too long for the space that could be afforded for it in the translation. A very few Notes have been added, either explanatory of the text, or for the sake of giving the Opinions of eminent philosophers.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Physics, Vol. 2 A matter of considerable difficulty in the preparation of a manual like the present is to determine the just pro portions of the respective sections, chapters, and para graphs, so that the subject shall be treated of in a manner neither too brief nor too diffuse. The purpose for which the treatise is intended will chiefly guide the author, who may yet, after all, be biassed to some extent by his indi vidual views, for this reason a few remarks are added, explanatory of the course pursued.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Elements of Physics: A Text-Book for High Schools and Academies Air and other gases are invisible, and hence are not readily recognized as matter. If, however, we show that air possesses impenetrability, we have reason to believe that air is matter, since it possesses one of the characteristic properties of matter.
