Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Science Book: Physics and Chemistry
This book is designed to serve as an introduction to scientific study, and at the same time to present a thorough course in the science of common phenomena. Whether the pupil has been prepared by courses in nature study or by his independent observation of things about him, he will find many subjects that are already known to him here treated in a manner which should explain the mysteries and clarify his ideas. Finishing this course, the pupil should be well fitted to take up the science studies of preparatory schools, and should have a store of serviceable knowledge.
