ARNOTT'S ELEMENTS of PHYSICS. Vol. II. Part I.
Containing Light and Heat.
“Dr. Arnott's previous volume has been so well received, that it has almost
banished all the flimsy productions called popular, which falsely pretend to strip
science of its mysterious and repulsive aspect, and to exhibit a holiday apparel.
The success of such a work shows most clearly that it is plain but sound knowledge
which the public want.”
—Monthly Review.
