THE NEW PHYSICS. 



A Manual of Experimental Study for High Schools 

 and Preparatory Schools for College, 



By JOHN TROWBRIDGE, 



PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. 



With Illustrations 12mo. Cloth, $l.$O. 



Prepared with special reference to the present advanced scientific require 

 ments for admission to the leading colleges, 



THE NEW PHYSICS is intended as a class manual of experimental 

 study in Physics for colleges and advanced preparatory schools. 

 It involves the use of simple trigonometrical formulas in experimental 

 demonstrations and in the discussions and mathematical computations of 

 various forms of energy. 



In THE NEW PHYSICS, Professor Trowbridge has so presented the 

 subjects treated, theoretically and practically, as to furnish to the student 

 the means of rigid and thorough mental discipline, and at the same time 

 of acquiring that practical knowledge of the subject which will properly 

 prepare him for subsequent and deeper study in the sciences. The 

 modern tendency of physical science is carefully noted and clearly shown 

 by means of the illustrations employed and their mutual relations. 



Professor Trowbridge's NEW PHYSICS is a successful and complete 

 refutation of the fallacy which has long prevailed among those who adhere 

 exclusively to the classics for purposes of mental discipline. Its text 

 shows that the mastery of certain definite and proportionate requirements 

 in the sciences, as requisites for college admission, calling for definite 

 attainment before entrance upon a collegiate course of study, will furnish, 

 in due proportion, that mental training and development which are a 

 necessary preparation for the broader training of the college curriculum. 



THE NEW PHYSICS is also adapted to the use of colleges and special 

 training-schools, and will be found a convenient and practical text-book 

 for such institutions.
