Motion. I cannot help thinking that the theory of Eqnilibrinm occupies too prominent a position in many of our Text books, and that the student obtains, in the problems of Statics, a very inadequate idea of Force and of its modes of expression. In the present arrangement I have followed that order which appears to me to be most logical, and which experience in teaching has shown to be practically advantageous. The book contains that amount of matter which a pupil may be expected to acquire in a first years course of instruction in the subject. It is divided into a number of Sections, which may serve as separate lessons, and should be studied in the order in which they occur. All important propositions are illustrated by numerical examples, worked out in the text, and the lessons are furnished with exercises progressively arranged. To render the work more especially serviceable to candidates for the Matriculation and Preliminary Scientific Examinations of the University of London, all questions set during the last few years have been classified, and appended to the several chapters to which they correspond Answers to the Exercises and Examination Questions are given at the end of the volume.
