Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Text-Book of General Physics: For the Use of Colleges and Scientific Schools
The class of students for which this text-book is designed is supposed to have a useful knowledge of trigonometry, but not of calculus. This is in agreement with the courses of instruction in most of our American colleges; but it has ordinarily the disadvantage of leaving rather a large inter val between the study of the philosophy of physics and the application of its principles to engineering. Especially true is this of thermodynamics and electricity where it is Often difficult for the student to recognize the fact that the un accustomed mathematical processes are simply easier means of attaining an understanding of a physical problem and not an end in themselves. For this reason the subjects men tioned are developed with somewhat more completeness than usual, so that the engineering student can find the essential notions of his advanced work logically connected with those acquired at an earlier time. Of course such an extension implies an exercise of choice on the 'part of the teacher as to what may be omitted in first reading with a class of which only a portion expects to pursue the subject farther.
In Chapter XLI will be found a treatment, quite ele mentary in character, of the limiting powers of optical instruments. This is, of course, of great philosophical in terest, because it is by the means of such instruments that we attain the greatest enlargement of our intellectual horizon. Notwithstanding the simplicity of the exposition, it does-not seem to have been done before in unmathematical language.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of General Physics: For the Use of Colleges and Scientific Schools
The most marked improvement in the method of recent text-books on physics is the growing tendency to emphasize the essential continuity of the science. It is true that physics, as a matter of convenience, still has to deal with certain phenomena of the sensations of sound and of light, which logically belong to physiology or psychology; but there is comparatively little difficulty in so isolating these portions of the text from those which may be dealt with in a purely objective way that there need remain no reason for the mental confusion which so often arises from the natural tendency to accept a sensation as a just measure of its awakening cause. Thus, if we set aside Chapters XXXIV and XLIV of the following pages, which treat primarily of the relations of sensations to their physical causes, and which will doubtless long be wanting in the scientific precision that characterizes other portions of physics, we find that all the remainder can be described as a strictly quantitative study of various transferences and transformations of energy. An understanding of energy is, therefore, absolutely essential to a satisfactory intellectual grasp of physics. This can only be attained by sustained study of dynamics, whence elementary mechanics must be regarded as the logical basis of the whole science of physics. No pains should be spared on the part of the student in attaining clear notions on this portion of his course.
