Excerpt from A Text Book of Physics for the Use of Students of Science and Engineering, Vol. 1

The preparation of this volume was undertaken to meet a demand that has been growing for some years past for a text-book of Physical Science which should connect more intimately than has hitherto been usual the scientific aspects of Physics with its modern practical applications. The reader must be left to judge how far the authors have succeeded in thus combining the outlooks of the man of science and the engineer.

The contents have been selected to meet the requirements of various classes of students: those preparing for Intermediate and other examinations of London and other Universities; and those entering for appointments in the Army, Navy, and Civil Service, or offering themselves for examination in Electrical Engineering (grade I.) by the City and Guilds of London Institute.

The book has been arranged in parts, in accordance with the divisions of the subject found convenient in most schools and colleges. Part I., Dynamics, comprises the sections of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics usually studied, and includes sections on motion, statics, and the properties of fluids. Part II., Heat; Part III., Light; Part IV., Sound; and Part V., Magnetism and Electricity; deal respectively with the principles of these subjects and their applications.
