Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons Elementary Practical Physics, Vol. 2 The second volume of our work on Practical Physics is based on the same lines as those of its predecessor. We have adhered to the plan of subdivision into a series of Lessons, each descriptive of something to be done by a definite method with definite apparatus. It has been thought desirable to make the first three chapters introductory to the rest of the work. Many teachers will, we doubt not, agree with us that the advantages resulting from such a preliminary course are very considerable, for not only does the student become practically acquainted with some of the leading principles of the science, but he has also his inventive and constructive faculties developed.
