Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School Compendium of Natural and Experimental Philosophy Ten years have elapsed since this work first appeared in permanent form from the hands of the stereotyper. During this time, the author has been gratified to learn that sixteen editions have been called for by the pub lic but this gratification has been mingled with re gret that he has been unable from time to time to make such improvements as he knew were needed, and which the progress of science, as well as a more extended ex perience, seemed imperiously to demand. He gladly avails himself of the present opportunity, afforded by the new publishers into whose hands it has fallen, to make such improvements as in his opinion will render it more worthy of the liberal patronage it has received; for although it is a long time since the author has had any pecuniary interest in the work, he hopes that it is not true that he has had no further solicitude.
