Abstract
THE year 1867 will long be remembered by natural philosophers as that of the publication of the first volume of “Thomson and Tait.” They had long been waiting for the book, and in the preface the delay was accounted for by the necessity of anticipating the wants of the other three volumes, in which the remaining divisions of Natural Philosophy were to be treated. The reader was also reminded, that if in any passage he failed to appreciate the aim of the authors, the reason might be that what he was studying was in reality a prospective contrivance, the true aim of which would not become manifest until after the perusal of that part of the work for which it was designed to prepare the way. Treatise on Natural Philosophy. Sir William Thomson, LL.D., D.C.L,, F.R.S., Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Glasgow, Fellow of St. Peter's College, Cambridge, and Peter Guthrie Tait, M.A., Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh, formerly Fellow of St. Peter's College, Cambridge. Vol. I. Part I. New Edition. (Cambridge, at the University Press, 1879.)
