Abstract
THE object of the authors has been to write a book which will serve both as an elementary text-book and as an interesting account of the subject for the general reader who has a taste for the science. With this in view they have naturally taken industrial development as a guide, and wherever possible have shown the connection between the simple principles of the science and their technical applications. As the general reader is usually ill-equipped with mathematics, we find that little more than the simplest equation is used in the book.
