The contents of the book are as follows

CHAPTER I. GENERAL NOTIONS. THE PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATION OF EXTENSION-IN-PHASE.

CHAPTER II. APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATION OF EXTENSION-IN-PHASE TO THE THEORY OF ERRORS.

CHAPTER III. APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATION OF EXTENSION-IN-PHASE TO THE INTEGRATION OF THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF MOTION.
