CHAPTER X. 



BOOKS UPON THIS BRANCH OF SCIENCE. 



Hydrostatics in general. 



ROWNING'S Natural Philosophy, vol. 2nd, 8vo. (published 1765.) 

 'SGravesande's Natural Philosophy, vol. 2nd, 4to. (1749.) 

 Abbe Nollet's Lectures on Experimental Philosophy. 



Ferguson's Lectures on Mechanics, &c., vol. 2nd, (Brewster's Edition, 1806.)

 C1763.)

Dr. T. Young's Lectures on Natural Philosophy, 2 vols. 4to. (1807.) 



Professor Millington's Epitome of Natural Philosophy, 8vo. 



(These eight works give a very popular view of Hydrostatics, under that 

 head, which forms a division of each work ; and Dr. T. Young's con- 

 tains the best selected catalogue ever published.) 



Dr. Olinthus Gregory's Mechanics, 3 vols. 8vo., gives (vol. i.) a much more full 

 and profound view of the subject. 



Professor Playfair's Outlines of Natural Philosophy, vol. i. 8vo. (1804.) 

 Dr. M. Young's Outlines of Natural Philosophy, 8vo. (1800.) 

 Robison's Mechanical Philosophy, vol. ii. 

 Leslie's Elements of Natural Philosophy, vol. i. 8vo. (1823.) 



(These four works give the heads of lectures on this subject among others 

 of Natural Philosophy ; but they are not sufficiently full or explicit 

 for the mere beginner.) 



Two Papers of Mr. Boyle, in Phil. Trans, for 1665 and 1669, on Hydrostatics. 



Pascal's Treatise on the Equilibrium of Liquids, (1664.) 



Mariotte on Hydrostatics. Mem. Roy. Acad. of Paris, i. 69. 



On the Equilibrium of Fluids. Ibid. ii. 78.

Hydrodynamics ; in Dr. Brewster's Encyclopedia, treats the subject of Hydro- 

 statics very learnedly and satisfactorily, and with minute references to all the 

 wc,ks upon this subject. It is a most valuable Treatise. 



Fontana on the Pressure of Fluids. Mem. Italian Society, ii. 142.
