Synopsis
Excerpt from Hydrostatics: An Elementary Text-Book Theoretical and Practical
It has now come to be generally recognised that the most satisfactory method of teaching the Natural Sciences is by experiments which can be performed by the learners themselves. In consequence many teachers have arranged for their pupils courses of practical instruction designed to illustrate the fundamental principles of the subject they teach. The portions of the following book designated Experiments have for the most part been in use for some time as a Practical Course for Medical Students at the Cavendish Laboratory.
The rest of the book contains the explanation of the theory of those experiments, and an account of the deductions from them. This part has grown out of my lectures to the same class. It has been my object in the lectures to avoid elaborate apparatus and to make the whole as simple as possible. Most of the lecture experiments are performed with the apparatus which is afterwards used by the class, and, whenever it can be done, the theoretical consequences are deduced from the results of these experiments.
In order to deal with classes of considerable size it is necessary to multiply the apparatus to a large extent.
