"This work is a very welcome addition to our scientific literature, and will be 

 particularly acceptable to those who wish to obtain a popular, but at the same time 

 precise and clear view of what Faraday justly calls the highest law in physical science, 

 the principle of the conservation offeree. Sufficient attention has not been paid to the 

 publication of collected monographs or memoirs upon special subjects. Dr. Youmans' 

 work exhibits the value of such collections in a very striking manne% and we earnestly 

 hope his excellent example may be followed in other branches of science." American 

 Journal of Science. 



" It was a happy thought which suggested the publication of this volume. The 

 question is often asked, and not so easily answered, What are the new doctrines of the 

 Correlation and Conservation of Forces? In this volume we have the answer, and 

 with the reasons of its chief expounders ; those who are ignorant on that theme, can 

 thus question the original authorities." Neio Englander. 



"We here have the original expositions of the new Philosophy of Forces, accompa- 

 nied by an excellent exposition of both the expositions and the expositors; the whole 

 will be a rare treat to the lovers of advancing scientific thought." Methodist 

 Quarterly Review. 



" This is, perhaps, the most remarkable book of the age. We have here the latest 

 discoveries, and the highest results of thought concerning the nature, laws, and con- 

 Bections of the forces of the universe. No higher or more sublime problem can engage 

 the intellect of man than is discussed by these doctors of science intent alone on aniv 

 tog at the truth." Detroit Free Press. 



'This work presents a praiseworthy specimen of complete and faithful authorship, 

 ad it* publication at this time will form an epoch in th experience of many thinking 

 mind a." ibune.
