Excerpt from Exercises on Mechanics and Natural Philosophy; Or, an Easy Introduction to Engineering, for the Use of Schools and Private Students: Containing Various Applications of the Principle of Work; The Theory of the Steam Engine, With Simple Machines; Theorems and Problems on Accumulated Work; The Equilibrium of Structure, With the Theory of the Arch; The Pressure and Efflux of Fluids; Calcul
I have consulted the able writings of Poncelet, Pam hour, Morin, and Whewell; but the chief source of my information has been The Mechanical Principles of Engineering and Architecture, by Professor Moseley, indeed not a few of the subj ects explained in the present volume, were adopted in consequence of the suggestions of this distinguished mathematician. Those who wish to pursue the subj ect farther, must study the great work just referred to.
