School Compendium of Natural and Experimental Philosophy

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The School Committee of the city of Boston having recently furnished the Grammar Schools with apparatus for exemplifying the principles of Natural Philosophy, the author of this work, who, for twenty years, has been at the head of one of these large establishments, and has felt the want of an elementary treatise unencumbered with extraneous matter, has been induced to attempt to supply the deficiency. If he is not deceived in the result of his labors, the work will commend itself to notice by the follow ing features.
