The book is a lecture given by Perry at the British Association Meeting held in Leeds on September 6, 1890. The lecture focuses on the science of spinning tops, including their construction, movement, and behavior. Perry, who was a professor of mechanics at the Royal College of Science in London, provides a detailed analysis of the physics of spinning tops, including the effects of friction, gravity, and inertia. He also discusses the different types of tops, their uses, and the various methods of spinning them. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both experts and lay readers. Overall, Spinning Tops is a fascinating and informative exploration of the science of spinning tops, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the physics of motion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
