The Student's Mechanics

THIS work, we are told in the Preface, “differs from the many previous works on the subject mainly in the fulness and care with which the foundations” (of mechanics) “have been considered,” and it aims at such a treatment of the subject that the student may apply its principles “confidently in attacking questions of practical importance.”The Student's Mechanics.By W. R. Browne. (London: C. Griffin and Co., 1883.)
