Description

A Treatise on Mechanics

The text of this e-book has mostly been preserved in its original form including some inconsistency of hyphenation and use of diacritics (aeriform/ariform). Three spelling typos have been corrected (arrangment arrangement, pully pulley, dye die) as have typos in equations on pages 40 and 43. And some missing punctuation has been corrected silently (periods, commas, incorrect quotes). To assist the reader, hyperlinks have been added to the table of contents, index and footnotes, as well as to the numerous cross-references within the text. Page numbers are shown in the right margin and footnotes are located at the end. Footnotes are located at the end. This Treatise on Mechanics, which was originally published in 1830, is the work of Dr. Lardner, with the exception of the twenty-first chapter, which was written by the late Captain Kater. The present edition has been revised and corrected by Dr. Lardner. (1.) Placed in the material world, Man is continually exposed to the action of an infinite variety of objects by which he is surrounded. The body, to which the thinking and living principles have been united, is an apparatus exquisitely contrived to receive and to transmit impressions. Its various parts are organised with obvious reference to the several external agents by which it is to be effected. Each organ is designed to convey to the mind immediate notice of some peculiar action, and is accordingly endued with a corresponding susceptibility. This adaptation of such organs to the particular influences of material agents, is rendered still more conspicuous when we consider that, however delicate its structure, each organ is wholly insensible to every influence except that to which it appears to be specially appropriated. The eye, so intensely susceptible of impressions from light, is not at all affected by those of sound; while the fine mechanism of the ear, so sensitively alive to every effect of the latter class, is altogether insensible to the former. The splendour of excessive light may occasion blindness, and deafness may result from the roar of a cannonade; but neither the sight nor the hearing can be injured by the most ex2treme action of that principle which is designed to affect the other. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
