Excerpt from An Introduction to Natural Philosophy, Vol. 1 of 2: Designed as a Text Book, for the Use of the Students in Yale College; Mechanics and Hydrostatics
We cannot, however, agree with those instructors who have yielded to the spirit of the age, (which is still hunting after a royal road to knowledge,) so far as to forsake demonstration altogether, and substitute for the mathematical elements of Natural Philosophy, text books in which the principles of the science rest on no better basis than more popular illustration. Works of this kind may, indeed, furnish us with very useful materials for exhibiting the applications of these principles. The most successful writer of this class is Dr. Lardner, whose treatise on Mechanics, in particular, is an ele gant specimen of a popular work on science. We have accordingly made frequent use of that work in the practical part of Mechanics.
