Excerpt from The Study of the Physical Sciences: Their Value in Education and the Part They Play in Advancing the Civilization of MankindIN this little book the Author has made an attempt to show the importance of the Physical Sciences in promoting education, and also the substantial value of scientific knowledge under any circumstances in assisting man to play his part happily and worthily. Addressing himself more especially to the enlightened educator and intelligent student, he desires to contribute his little offering to the cause of science, by point ing out its attractions and usefulness, from a profound conviction that the diffusion of such information is desirable, and that the more men understand and appreciate the tendency of science, the better they will perceive what fitting instruments are provided by its teachings for the elevation of the human race.In a work designedly elementary, the Author has avoided encumbering his pages with notes and references as unnecessary where the subject matter is limited to the region of recognized facts.The scientific reader, however, will perceive that a more elaborate design might turn to good account many speculations of an interesting character, though scarcely entitled as yet to assume the position of established principles.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
