Synopsis
Excerpt from Experimental Elasticity: A Manual for the Laboratory
To throw together into a small volume the manuscripts dealing with one branch of physics would seem an easy task. But the result would hardly be satisfactory, for some of the earlier manuscripts require revision in the light of later experience, while many of the manuscripts contain mathematical arguments which are repeated in others of the series. This repetition was necessary for the practical working of the class but would be intolerable in a book.
