Abstract
THE author states in his preface that “the study of mechanics is here supposed to follow an adequate course in the differential and integral calculus.” Hence is difficult to see how it can appeal to any class of students—at least in this country—especially as, in addition to both branches of the calculus, the conceptions of geometry of three dimensions are also introduced at the outset. The student who has already progressed thus far in mathematics does not require to be introduced to the parallelogram of forces and all the elements of the composition and resolution of coplanar forces and velocities. Thereis nothing distinctively novel in the work, which is, on the whole, a careful compilation from the works of the best writers on the subject, without any acknowledgment of the sources.
