Excerpt from Text Book of the Principles of Physics
I have endeavoured to secure intelligible continuity throughout the paragraphs printed in larger type, and thereby to enable the reader on his first perusal to confine his attention to the more prominent portions of the text.
However imperfectly its design may have been executed, I shall be glad if this work be found to contribute in any degree to the extension of that mode of teaching natural philosophy for the establishment of which we have come, directly and indirectly, to owe so much to the advocacy and example of professor Thomson and Tait - a mode of teaching under which the whole of natural philosophy is regarded as substantially a single science, in which scattered facts are connected and co-ordinated by reference to the principles of dynamics and the great experimental law of the conversation of energy.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a clear introduction to fundamental physics concepts like time, space, and mass, offering foundational knowledge that's essential to understanding our physical world. Grounded in experimentation, the author presents time as length measured by a clock, space as distance traveled in a given direction, and mass as a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration. By studying how these concepts relate and interact, the book guides readers through the general principles of physics, from Galileo's law of falling bodies to Newton's theory of motion. With precise and straightforward language, the author lays a solid groundwork for further exploration of physical phenomena.
