Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Applied Mechanics
To Mr. J. W. Barrett the author is deeply indebted for the great care, intelligence, and skill which he has bestowed on the preparation of the illustrations from the author's pencil drawings and sketches.
A good and enthusiastic teacher interested in his subject does not as a rule follow strictly any particular text-book, not even if he has written it himself, and many of the best teachers seldom refer to any text-book in their lectures. It is, however, very important that a student should form as good a library of his own as he can afford, and the author of this book hopes that it will not be unworthy of a place in such a library, especially in the initial stages of its formation.
