Excerpt from An Epitome of the Elementary Principles of Natural and Experimental Philosophy, Vol. 1: Comprehending the General Properties of Matter, Mechanics, Pneumatics, Acoustics, Hydrostatics, Hydraulics, and a Copious Account of the Invention, Progress, and Present State of the Steam Engine

Tnosn who look into the following sheets must not be disappointed at finding they do not contain a complete Treatise on all the various sciences of which they profess to treat, following them through their several trains of analytical reasoning: Far bumbler are the Author's pretensions, for this little work is merely the essential parts of a popular Course of Lectures on the Mechanical properties of ponderable matter, which he has had the honor of delivering several times before the Members of, and Subscribers to, the Royal and Surry Institutions, and in the Theatre of Guy's Hospital, Southwark; to which he has likewise added, the leading features of n distinct Course upon the Steam Engine, as read at the former establishment in the winter of 181 9, and afterwards partially repeated, among other Lectures, at the London Institution; and he is proud of this opportunity of publicly expressing his gratitude for the very ﬂattering marks of approbation which his humble efforts met with at these highly useful Establishments.
