Abstract
THE second stage of mechanics is alone dealt with here, and throughout, the author has rendered the various forces which produce motion, together with the laws which regulate those forces, in a clear and simple style; the illustrations are numerous, and are specially adapted to an elementary course. The work is suited to the requirements of the second stage of the revised code, and the arrangement of the chapters is the same as that in the Syllabus of Instruction adopted by the London School Board. The examples at the end of each chapter are instructive and well chosen, and the book concludes with a series of examination papers and results to the numerical questions.
