Sound: A Course of Eight Lectures Delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Sound: A Course of Eight Lectures Delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain
IN preparing this new edition of Sound, I have carefully gone over the last one; amended, as far as possible, its defects of style and matter, and paid at the same time respectful attention to the criticisms and suggestions which the former editions called forth.
The cases are few in which I have been content to re produce what I have read of the works of acousticians. I have sought to make myself experimentally familiar with the ground occupied; trying, in all cases, to present the illustrations in the form and connection most suitable for educational purposes.
