Excerpt from Principles of Physics, or Natural Philosophy: Designed for the Use of Colleges and Schools

Many important changes have been made in the present edition, designed to adapt the work more fully to the wants of the higher seminaries, where mathematical demonstrations are required of the classes in Natural Philosophy. With this view, the two first Parts have been almost wholly rewritten, and upon a different plan of arrangement. Some subjects which were perhaps too fully treated in the first edition, - as, for example, Crystallography, - have been reduced, while others have been expanded to meet the just propor tions of a harmonious treatment. These remarks apply also to Part Third (the Physics of Imponderable Agents), and especially to Optics and Heat. In the latter chapter some topics have been omitted which are more appropriately treated in Chemistry.
