'In this work he reduced the study of what he called pure mechanics to a system. It is the earliest attempt to 

 develop, with anything like completeness, the science of machines considered from the kinematic point of view, without 

 reference to the forces which are at work or to the energy which is transmitted.' D. N. B. 



Professor Willis, like Dr. Whewell, was one of the rare examples of a mathematician who cared for Pointed Architecture, 

 however natural, on its constructional side, such an interest might seem. His study however went far beyond Dr. Whewell's, 

 and he was, with 3V1r. Freeman, one of the ablest amateur authorities on English architecture, and his advice was of much 

 value in the restoration of many of the Cathedrals.

A VERY RARE VOLUME, unknown to Watt, Allibone, and Lowndes, nor included in Mr. Symons's very copious list of 

 English works on meteorology. Eighty-nine pp. of the work are devoted to ' Predictions of the Weather '. The author 

 seems to be ignorant of Galileo's discoveries, and still explains various phenomena caused by the pressure of air by the 

 horror vacui.
