Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fourteen Weeks in Physics
New plates being required for this edition, the author has taken the opportunity thoroughly to revise the entire work. By carefully comparing the criticisms of teachers, he has tried to obtain the parallax of all its statements and methods, and to eliminate, as far as possible, the errors growing out of his personal equation. Hearty thanks are tendered to the many friends of the book who, by their suggestions and criticisms, have so greatly added to the value of this revision. To name them all in this Preface would be impossible, and to discriminate would be invidious. The author cannot, however, allow the opportunity to pass without expressing his profound sense of obligation. By untiring study and the continued help of his friends, he hopes thus, year by year, to make the series more and more worthy the favor which his fellow-teachers have so abundantly bestowed upon it. Happy indeed will he be if he succeed in leading some young mind to become a lover and an interpreter of Nature, and thus come at last to see that N ature herself is but a thought of God.
