Excerpt from Outlines of Natural Philosophy for Schools and General ReadersThis book is intended to supply the Widely felt want of a work at once easy enough for a class reading-book and precise enough for a text-book. Great pains have been taken to make every statement as plain as possible, and to put every sentence into the form which will render it easiest to understand at first hearing. Familiar language whenever available has been preferred to the use of technical terms, as it is not desirable to encumber begin ners with any names beyond what they need for con veniently expressing their ideas. Algebraic formulae have been altogether excluded.The woodcuts with which the work is profusely illus trated are not thrown in for mere ornament, but have been carefully designed and selected for' the elucidation of the text, and are fully explained. To avoid distract ing the attention of the reader, and at the same time permit reference when required, the technical names of pieces of apparatus have in many cases been indicated in the titles of the figures, though not used in the text. In like manner, in the index, several words are introduced which do not occur in the body of the work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
