Abstract
MECHANICS has always been regarded as the corner stone of natural philosophy and it is fitting that an introduction to theoretical physics should begin with a study of the laws of motion of material bodies. These two volumes form such a commencement and prepare the way for the three other volumes on electricity and magnetism, light and heat which have already been reviewed in these columns (NATURE, 130, 943; 1932).
