Book Overview

The Handbook of Natural and Experimental Philosophy, published in 1861 by Cassell Petter and Galpin, is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of natural philosophy. The book covers a wide range of topics, including mechanics, optics, electricity, magnetism, chemistry, and astronomy, and is designed to be accessible to both students and professionals in the field. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different area of natural philosophy. The first section covers mechanics, including the laws of motion, the principles of equilibrium, and the properties of fluids. The second section covers optics, including the nature of light, the laws of reflection and refraction, and the properties of lenses and mirrors. The third section covers electricity and magnetism, including the principles of electrostatics, the behavior of electric currents, and the properties of magnets. The fourth section covers chemistry, including the properties of gases, liquids, and solids, as well as the principles of chemical reactions and the behavior of acids and bases. Finally, the fifth section covers astronomy, including the properties of the solar system, the behavior of comets and meteors, and the nature of the stars and galaxies. Throughout the book, the authors provide clear explanations of the principles and concepts of natural philosophy, as well as practical examples and experiments that students can perform to deepen their understanding of the subject matter. Overall, the Handbook of Natural and Experimental Philosophy is an essential resource for anyone interested in the principles and practices of natural philosophy, and remains a valuable reference work for students and professionals in the field today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
