Excerpt from A Treatise on Dynamics of a Particle: With Numerous Examples
The fact that this work has already reached a seventh edition has not merely delighted me but has, in no small degree, perplexed and puzzled me. Comparing its prospects with those of its more recent rivals, which have had the unquestionable advantage of being written by authors in close touch with the present phase of the ever-changing atmosphere of Cambridge, they appeared to be by no means hopeful - but in this, it seems, I was unduly despondent.

Comparing its prospects with those of its more recent rivals, which have had the unquestionable advantage of being written by authors in close touch with the present phase of the ever-changing atmosphere of Cambridge, they appeared to be by no means hopeful: but in this, it seems, I was unduly despondent. I must, therefore, attribute its continued success to the main features in which it differs from its concurrents: viz. its plain, almost blunt, language; and its absolute freedom from pedantry: especially that particularly dangerous species which exaggerates molehills into mountains, and leaves the unfortunate reader, who has toiled through some laborious investigation or explanation, utterly mystified as to the necessity for it: perhaps even ignorant of its object. [I tis scarcely possible to overestimate the mischief which may thus be done to really intelligent, though (for once!) sufficiently incautious, beginners.
