Excerpt from The Mechanical Euclid: Containing the Elements of Mechanics and Hydrostatics Demonstrated After the Manner of the Elements of Geometry
The wish to put the elementary portions chanics in a form in which they might be studied in Universities, led me, publish a little work under the title Principles of Mechanics, with Historical Illustrations. But the effect of mixed as a discipline is, I conceive, likely to be answered by the more rigorous scheme of which the University has sanctioned, than treatment of the subject as was then the Historical Illustrations, which ap some interest in the public, are gi completely in the History to which I ferred.
