Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physics Tms book aims to give a rational explanation of the more important physical phenomena, and to prepare the way for further investigation and study of physical science. The progress of Physics during the nineteenth century has been so rapid, and the useful applications of physical knowl edge have become so numerous and important that there is danger of underrating the importance of the fundamental principles established by the great founders of the science. These principles will always remain the necessary basis of all systematic knowledge of the subject. Prominent among them are the parallelogram law, the law of moments, the laws of Pascal, Archimedes, and Boyle, the laws of uniformly accelerated motion, Newton's laws of motion, and the laws of energy. In this book much space has been devoted to the statement, proof, and application of these laws. The experi mental methods by which the laws are established have been given, and, when possible, the line of thought of the dis coverer has been indicated.
