Ues Vergangliche ist nur ein Gleichniss. (I ntelligibility is only likeness.) The study of electricity and magnetism as represented in the following chapters is independent of any consideration of the nature of the physical action which leads to the production of electromotive force in a voltaic cell or dynamo; it is independent of any consideration of the nature of the physical action which constitutes an electric current in a wire; it is independent of any consideration of the nature of the disturbance which constitutes a magnetic field; and it is independent of any consideration of the nature of the disturbance or stress which constitutes an electric field. This kind of study of electricity and magnetism may very properly be called electro-mechanics. Simple mechanics is the study of ordinary bodies at rest or in visible motion, and one of the most important ideas in mechanics is the idea of force, but the science of mechanics is not concerned with, and indeed it sheds no light upon, the question as to the physical nature of force. Thus, the science of mechanics is not concerned with the question as to the nature of the action which takes place in a gas and causes the gas to exert a force on a piston; the science of mechanics is not concerned with the question as to the nature of the action which takes place in the material of a stretched wire causing the wire to exert a pull upon each of the two supports at its ends; the science of mechanics is not concerned with the nature of the action between the earth and a heavy weight which causes the earth to exert a force on the weight. It is sufificient for the science of mechanics that these things are what may be called states of permanency which involve certain invariant co-relations.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Phil

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
