Abstract
IN editing the first two volumes of the seven volumes which form M. Resal's “Traité de mécanique,” the author has seized the opportunity of completing certain subjects in the seventh volume, to which he directs attention in his preface. The scope of this treatise is so very great, covering all the ground of modern Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, that the author is debarred from entering into much detail. Thus, for instance, such a large subject as Hydrodynamics, including Hydraulics and Sound, is polished off in about sixty pages.
