Excerpt from Elements of Acoustics, Light, and Heat The following treatise has been prepared in strict accordance with the syllabus of the Government Department of Science and Art, as indicated by their scheme of instruction for the elementary stage examination, in the particular branches of Acoustics, Light, and Heat. Having taught these subjects for several years to large classes, and that with encouraging success, as tested by the annual examinations of my students, I feel the less hesitation in complying with the request made to me by the Publishers, of giving an outline of the course which I have followed, in the hope that it may be found useful to others engaging in the discharge of similar duties. While instruction in the branches referred to, or indeed in physical science generally, is essentially dependent for its thorough efficiency on extensive and minute experimental illustration, the possession on the part of the teacher of the requisite instruments and apparatus, is of course, a sine qua non.
