Abstract
THIS is a bold experiment, and decidedly deserves to be a successful one. Nearly all our elementary works, even on mere departments of Physics, are extremely bad, especially the so-called “original”ones; and those which have been translated from the French are little suited to the genius of this country—however excellent they may be in France—while they are usually spoiled by inaccurate translation, or by clumsy and injudicious addition of a mere cobbling or patching kind.
