Excerpt from Spinning Tops: The Operatives Lecture of the British Association Meeting
This is not the lecture as it was delivered. Instead of two pages of letterpress and a wood cut, the reader may imagine that for half a minute the lecturer played with a spinning top or gyrostat, and occasionally ejaculated words of warning, admonition, and explanation towards his audience. A verbatim report would make rather uninterest ing reading, and I have taken the liberty of trying, by greater fullness of explanation, to make up to the reader for his not having seen the moving apparatus. It has also been necessary in a treatise intended for general readers to simplify the reasoning, the lecture having been delivered to persons whose life experiences peculiarly fitted them for understanding scientific things. An argument has been added at the end to_make the steps of the reasoning clearer.
