Introductory course of natural philosophy for the use of schools and academies. Ed. from Ganot's popular physics. By William G. Peck
A school physics textbook adapted by William G. Peck from Adolphe Ganot's popular French course, published by A.S. Barnes in New York in 1869 for American academy students. The 250 wood engravings show brass-and-glass laboratory apparatus on turned stands and tiled floors — electrostatic machines, Leyden jars, graduated scales, discharge spheres — with crisp hatched shading useful for isolated diagrammatic objects.
