Excerpt from History and Root of the Principle of the Conservation of Energy

Quite apart from the interest which must attach to the first sketch of a way of regarding science which has become of such great importance to students both of science and of the theory of knowledge, this pamphlet is quite essential to the thorough understanding of Mach's work. In the first place, it contains a reprint of Mach's article (1868) on the definition of mass, which is, per haps, his most important contribution to mechanics; and, in the second place, the discussion of the logical root of the principle of the conservation of energy is fuller than that in any of his later publications.'
