Excerpt from Newton's Laws of Motion

N 0 really intelligent conception of any one of the numerous branches of Natural Philosophy, still less of their intimate interdependence, can possibly be formed by a student until he has an accurate acquaintance with its unique basis, The Laws of Motion.

Yet, if the Teacher have but six months given him to discuss such an enormous subject, and be expected to deal impartially with its various branches, the time which he can devote to this indispensable auxiliary must be altogether inadequate. And in the three months' course, which is now required of medical students, it cannot fail to be almost ludicrously insufficient. Hence the impera tive necessity that the student should to some extent be his own teacher in this all-important special region - that he should be assisted in the endeavour to prepare himself, by previous efforts of his own, to follow intelligently all that his Teacher has time to say about it - and that he should have the means of refreshing his recollections of it throughout the whole of the course. This forms one of my reasons for producing the present little book.
