Abstract
THE first number of this work has been issued during the present year. From the preface we learn that the object of the work is the theoretical investigation of the problems involved in the theory of machinery. In the first volume will be discussed the mechanical theory of heat, the theory of hydraulics, and certain other parts of theoretical physics and of applied mechanics, which will be useful in the subsequent portions. The second volume will contain the elements of machines, of mechanical movements, and of governors, and also of mechanical instruments—i.e., instruments for measuring time, velocity, mass, force, and energy.
