Excerpt from An Elementary Text-Book of Heat and Light: With One Hundred and Fifty Illustrations, and Numerous Examples This work is intended to serve as an introduction to the study of Heat and Light, and fully covers the ground defined by the Syllabus for the London University Matriculation Examination. Although primarily written for the use of candidates for this examination, the book is intended to be suitable for general use. In order to avoid the confusion which always arises from a too close observance of the requirements of different examinations, I have considered the Matriculation Syllabus as an indication of what our best authorities consider to be a suitable elementary course, and have treated the subject accordingly. My chief aim has been to give the student clear and accurate notions of the elementary principles of the subject, and to enable him to obtain a firm grasp of these principles by practical illustration and by exercises on their application to problems. For general convenience the reference numbers in this book are arranged to correspond with those in our more advanced Text-books of Heat and Light to which the reader desirous of extending his study of these subjects is referred. I have to acknowledge suggestions from the Principal of the University Correspondence College, and from Mr. S. Andrews, B.A., B.Sc., who has kindly read through all the proofs. I have also to thank Mr. R. Evans, University College, London, and my brother, Mr. A. M. Stewart, for verifying the arithmetical work of the examples.
