Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Physical Manipulation, Vol. 2
Since the publication of the first Volume of this work, its scope has been greatly enlarged. It is now made to include, not only Physics proper, but several kindred. Branches, and aims to describe the principal methods of experiment with which every physicist should be familiar. As in the first volume, each Experiment is divided into two parts, a description of the Apparatus, intended mainly for the instructor, and the details of the Experiment, for the student.
The subject of Electricity is perhaps better adapted than any other to the laboratory system, and a large amount of space is therefore devoted to it. Heat follows, not being introduced earlier on account of its difficulty, The student may thus first acquire the requisite skill, arid this subject then furnishes an excellent test of his proficiency. To attain accurate results, not only is great care needed, but very carefully constructed apparatus, and numer ous precautions must be taken, and corrections applied. It was therefore deemed better to select simple and inexpensive forms of apparatus which should show the student the principles involved, although not capable of giving very accurate results. If the latter are desired, the student should be referred at once to the original memoirs.
