Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A System of Mechanics, for the Use of the Students in the University of Dublin
It has long been acknowledged that the course of Physics appointed for the Undergraduates is by no means commensurate with the present enlarged state of that department of science: of late years, however, Stack's Treatise on Optics, and Brinkley's System of Astronomy, have in part obviated this complaint. The first of these works, though the theoretic parts are not sufficiently diffuse, may serve for the purpose of instruction for several years to come; by which time the science of Optics will have assumed a new face. The latter contains a great mass of information, conveyed in a pleasing form, and has already contributed much to the improvement of the students; in particular it has familiarised them with certain parts of trigonometry which had been little attended to.
