Excerpt from Sound, Light and HeatThe experiments demand no expensive apparatus; the aim has been to avoid elaborate instruments; descriptions of the apparatus used, appear in the book or in the Appendix. Many of the engravings are copied from pieces of apparatus in use.The results obtained from the experiments make no claim to great accuracy. The student should avoid attaching to his calculations greater value than they deserve; he should consider the apparatus with which he works; it is a strong temptation to calculate to five or six places of decimals when probably not more than the first place can be relied upon.While attempts have been made to prevent the student forming notions at variance with modern theories, little Space has been given to such theories. A beginner's time is best spent in examining the facts of science.Numerous examples are given frequently throughout the work; Science has been slow in copying from Arithmetic in this matter. A large number of the examples are selected from Examination papers they include the whole of the ques tions in the elementary papers of the Science and Art Depart ment during the last nine years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Tower: A Novel Turning to the table she took up the field-glasses and hastily levelled them at the wide windows of the Tower rooms, below the arches. Surely there was some one moving inside! A woman in a mob cap came to the window and shook out a duster in the air. It was an intrusion, an unendurable in trusion! She swept her glass upward and was startled to find herself gazing into the face of a man who was leaning with his elbows on the stone balus trade, looking out over the garden and smoking tranquilly, as if he had a right to be there! There was something familiar in the poise of his head; his hand moved out slowly and she knew that he had flicked the ash from the tip of his cigar with his little finger. The color rushed to Miss Lang don's cheeks; she could not have seen at that dis tance; how was it, then, that she had been able to divine the exact turn of the hand, the quick motion of the finger, every detail that must have accom panied the vague movement which had caught her eye through the glass? Who can he be she murmured. He doesn't look young; it is not possible that some one is going to take the rooms again?
