DYNAMICS 



BY 



P. G. TAIT, M.A., Sec. R.S.E. 



HONORARY FELLOW OF ST. PETER's COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE ; 

 PROFESSOR OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH. 



"The book is a clear and masterly exposition- — illustrated by 

 diagrams wherever necessary — of a subject on which Professor 

 Tait has long been regarded as an authority. Behind theoretical 

 knowledge, in his case, lie many years of practical teaching, and 

 there is evidence on almost every page of close appreciation of the 

 needs of students. The manual is, in fact, a notable accession to 

 the resources of those who are engaged in teaching the higher 

 aspects of physical science." — Speaker. 



"It is generally easy to recognise the products of a master- 

 mind, and, even if this work had been published without the 

 author's name upon the title-page, the originality and force of 

 the contents would at once command attention. Only a worker 

 in the foremost ranks of physicists could expound the science of 

 matter and motion in the manner of this volume." — Ktiowledge. 



"Professional and unprofessional students who have read Pro- 

 fessor Tait's profound article on mechanics in the last edition of the 

 ' Encyclopgedia Britannica ' welcome the reprint of that article, with 

 additions, in the handy text-book form presented by the Messrs. 

 Black. Some modifications of the original article have been made 

 in this reprint, and the subjects of attraction, hydrostatics, hydro- 

 kinetics, and waves have been incorporated as additions. The 

 result is a treatise on dynamics, which, for thought-promoting infor- 

 mation per unit area, is equalled only by the Natural Philosophy 

 of Thomson and Tait." — Science.
