Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physics
In preparing a new edition of this text-book the authors have taken advantage of numerous suggestions received from those who have used it in their classes. The part on wave motion has been entirely re-written and numerous changes have been made in several other parts. The distribution of material between large and small print has been changed in various places and it is believed that the part of the book in large print may now be used consecutively and independently as an abbreviated course.
The authors will welcome suggestions for further improvements.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physics
It will be seen as we proceed that in some parts of the subject the relations between Observed facts are better understood than in other parts. Thus in Mechanics the relations between phe nomens have been so well ascertained that we are able to start from a few simple laws regarding the motions of bodies and from these deduce explanations of the most complicated motions. In other parts of the subject we must be content to take from time to time some one principle and trace the logical consequences of it as far as we can, and then proceed to do the same with other principles.
After classifying and studying a group of facts, the process by which we arrive at some underlying principle is called Induction. Thus the principle of gravitation was discovered by Newton after a careful comparison Of the motions of falling bodies and Of the moon and the planets. Having found a general principle underly ing and binding together many phenomena, we may reason forward from it and deduce other known or unknown facts, as in Geometry we deduce one proposition from another. This process is called Deduction. In a brief account Of Physics we must necessarily use deductive more frequently than inductive methods; but, where space will permit, the effort may be made to show how by induc tion important fundamental principles have been discovered.
