Excerpt from The Elements of Physics: A Text-Book for Academies and Common Schools
This volume has been prepared, at the request of many teachers, for the use of pupils in academies and common schools. The topics considered have been selected with reference both to the average age of such pupils and to the time usually allotted to the study of Physics.
The object of this book is not merely to give a systematic and symmetrical epitome of the Science, but so to present each topic that the pupil shall receive, from the first, clear, accurate, and scientific ideas. In no other way can the study of any science be made a means of mental discipline. No pains have been spared to attain this result; and it is hoped that, however much has been omitted that many teachers would desire to have presented, the pupil will, at least, have nothing to unlearn.
