Excerpt from Lessons in Elementary Practical Physics, Vol. 3: Stewart and Gee Series
This book forms the first part of "Volume III. of the "Elementary Practical Physics" series begun in 1885 at Owens College by Professor Balfour Stewart and Mr. W. W. Haldane Gee. Upon the lamented decease of the former in 1887, and the subsequent acceptance by Mr. Gee of an appointment as Chief Lecturer in the electrical department at the Manchester Technical School, the work was allowed to lapse for some years. Ultimately it was decided, with the concurrence of the Publishers, to entrust the remaining sections to separate coadjutors. That on Heat is in preparation by the general Editor, to whom the present writer is indebted for help and suggestions: the final volume (Optics) will appear later.
