Book Description

Excerpt from Class-Book of Elementary Mechanics, Vol. 1: An Introduction to Natural Philosophy, Adapted to the Requirements of the Revised New Code; Matter Although the book has been arranged to accompany a special series of demonstrations, it is also adapted for use as a class book in any school where the subject is taught. It would be a very easy matter for an intelligent teacher to devise numerous simple experiments, in addition to those incidentally referred to in the book, to illustrate each lesson. A very small outlay would provide all that was really necessary in the way of appa ratus, and indeed a vast number of illustrations and experiments might be shown by the aid of such simple objects as are to be found in any house or schoolroom.
