Abstract
THIS book represents the first portion of a college course in general physics, in which the primary object has been to establish an immediate and vital connection between theory and experiment. It has, therefore, been made neither a laboratory manual, in the ordinary sense of the term, nor yet a simple classroom text. Each section is introduced by a theoretic statement, and is followed by instructions with regard to an experiment to be performed. As it is only a twelve weeks' course which is represented, the experiments have had to be selected out of the large number of possible ones, and in making this selection the author has aimed at having one, and only one, experiment in illustration of each principle.
