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.
This slim yet dense volume remains an excellent introduction to
Newtonian physics, just as when it was first published in 1877.
Beginning with the basics of physical science and working his way
steadily up to universal gravitation, Maxwell surveys
late-19th-century physics in his clear and concise style. Matter
and Motion addresses: . motion . force . the properties of the
center of mass of a material system . work and energy .
recapitulation . the pendulum and gravity . the equations of motion
of a connected system Readers from the science historian to the
high school physics student will come away from Matter and Motion
with a deeper understanding of the roots of modern physics.
Scottish physicist and mathematician JAMES CLERK MAXWELL
(1831-1879) is considered by many to be one of the giants of
theoretical physics. Albert Einstein once described Maxwell's work
as "the most profound and the most fruitful that physics has
experienced since the time of Newton." A devoutly religious man and
a published poet as well as a renowned scientist, Maxwell's books
include Theory of Heat (1870), Treatise on Electricity and
Magnetism (1873), and Elementary Treatise on Electricity (1881).

Henry Cavendish (1731 1810), the grandson of the second duke of
Devonshire, wrote papers on electrical topics for the Royal
Society, but the majority of his electrical experiments did not
become known until they were collected and published by James Clerk
Maxwell a century later, in 1879, long after other scientists had
been credited with the same results. Among Cavendish's discoveries
were the concept of electric potential, which he called the 'degree
of electrification'; an early unit of capacitance, that of a sphere
one inch in diameter; the formula for the capacitance of a plate
capacitor; the concept of the dielectric constant of a material;
the relationship between electric potential and current, now called
Ohm's Law; laws for the division of current in parallel circuits,
now attributed to Charles Wheatstone; and the inverse square law of
variation of electric force with distance, now called Coulomb's
Law.
