Excerpt from College Physics
In pursuance of the first of these purposes, that arrangement of topics has been chosen which, in the experience of the authors, has been found to lend itself most readily to a simple and natural presentation of the subject as a whole. Owing to the more obvious relations existing between them, the sub jcet of heat is made to follow immediately after the distinctly material phenomena of mechanics and sound; electricity pre cedes light, and the subject of radiation, usually found under the different chapters of heat, electricity and light, is treated separately after these subjects have been presented. It has also been thought best, even at the sacrifice of historical consist ency, to begin the subject of electricity with current electricity, in order to secure the advantage of the greater familiarity of the student with the phenomena of applied electricity.
