Excerpt from A Manual of Applied Mechanics

Other portions of the work, which are wholly or partly new, are indicated in their places.

In the arrangement of this treatise an effort has been made to adhere as rigidly as possible to a methodical classification of its subjects; and, in particular, care has been taken to keep in view the distinction between the comparison of motions with each other, and the relations between motions and forces, which was first pointed out by Monge and Ampere, and which Mr. Willis has so successfully applied to the subject of mechanism. The observing of that distinction is highly conducive to the correct understanding and ready application of the principles of Mechanics.
