THE ELEMENTS OF MECHANISM DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS OF APPLIED MECHANICS BY T. M. GOODEVE, M.A. PROFESSOR OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY IN KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON LONDON LONGMAN, GREEN, LONGMAN, AND ROBERTS 1860 186. l.10. PREFACE. THE present Treatise has been written with the view of providing an Elementary Text-book upon the Principles of Mechanism for the Students in the Applied Science Department of King's College. The method of classification which has been adopted may perhaps fail to satisfy a very critical reader, and is no doubt open to objection. The Author would, however, remark that this book is simply designed to serve as an introduction to the elaborate and highly philosophical work of Professor Willis, and is not intended to stand alone as sufficient in itself. KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON: June 1860. |
