Synopsis
First Lines Of Science: Or, A Comprehensive And Progressive View Of The Leading Branches Of Modern Scientific Discovery And Invention by James Mitchell. This 1827 handbook surveys the main divisions of science in accessible form, tracing its history and outlining fundamental principles. Structured as an introductory encyclopaedia, it covers Geography, Botany, Geology, Natural Philosophy, Mechanics, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Acoustics, Optics, Electricity, Galvanism, Chemistry, Meteorology, Astronomy, and Physiology. Each chapter presents concise explanations, definitions, and lists of topics, with illustrative problems, diagrams, and practical exercises such as globe projection, map construction, and the use of globes. The editor connects science to theology and education, arguing for universal access to knowledge and the gradual development of the learner’s understanding. It aims to equip the reader with a broad scaffold upon which more specialized study can be built, combining survey and instruction in a single concise volume.
