Inhaltsangabe

Vi PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS them are fuller than the manuscript as finally prepared for the press. With regard to two paragraphs of the work I have found it impossible to satisfy myself, the authors intention as to the final form having remained doubtful to me. I have marked these two paragraphs and have thought it best to leave them entirely unaltered. After sending off the manuscript the author had noted certain corrections in a second copy; all these have been included before printing off. I have completed the references to earlier paragraphs of the book (of which few were given in the second part, and scarcely any in the last chapter), and have drawn up an index to the definitions and notation. P. Lenard. TMNSLATOKS NOTE Hertz s Principles of Mechanics forms the third (and last) volume of his collected works, as edited by Dr. Philipp Lenard. English translations of the first and second volumes (M iscellaneous Papers and Electric Waves) have already been published. The translation of the first two volumes was comparatively easy; the third has proved to be a more difficult undertaking. If it has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion this will be largely due to Professor Lenard, through whose hands the proof-sheets have passed. He has again, notwithstanding the pressure of other work, been good enough to advise and assist us from time to time, and we tender to him our warmest thanks. We also desire to thank the publishers and printers for the extreme consideration shown by them while the book was being prepared for the press. D. E. J. J. T. W. September

Excerpt from The Principles of Mechanics: Presented in a New Form

The volume now published is Heinrich Hertz's last work. To it he devoted the last three years of his life. The general features were settled and the greater part of the book written within about a year; the remaining two years were spent in working up the details. At the end of this time the author regarded the first part of the book as quite finished, and the second half as practically finished. He had arranged to work once more through the second half. But soon his plans became only hopes, and his hopes were doomed to disappointment. Death was soon to claim him in the prime of his power. Shortly before he died he forwarded to the publishers the greater part of the manuscript. At the same time he sent for me and asked me to edit the book, in case he should not be able to see it through the press.
