Excerpt from A Treatise on Infinitesimal Calculus, Vol. 3: Containing Differential and Integral Calculus, of Variations, Applications to Algebra and Geometry, and Analytical Mechanics

Statics, Attractions, and the Dynamics of a mate rial particle are contained in the present volume.

The investigations are for the most part confined to subj ects which are within the range of the general principles of Mechanics, and are not extended to par ticular sciences wherein these principles are specifi cally applied. Thus, although the principles are dis cussed on which the equilibrium and stability of bridges, arches, and roofs depend; yet the practical rules of the engineer's and the builder's arts are not considered. Also as physical astronomy, the theories of light, heat, and electricity require the explanation and discussion of certain experimental laws which rule their subj ect-matter, so the inquiry into these is beyond the scope of this work at the present stage of it.
