Memoirs of British Generals Distinguished During the Peninsular War, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) Book

ADVERTISEMENT TO THE SECOND EDITION.1 HAVii reserved for the Appendix to this Volume the longer additional and illustrative notes which I have written for the new edition of the " Eieuent3."Some of those notes would have been inconveniently long as footnotes; others would have been inconveniently placed. Tor example, although the Note on Screws relates naturally to Art. 416 and that on the Kinematical Treatment of Curves to Art. 396, I havo placed the Note on Screws before the Note on Curves because Hamilton's remarks on screw motion in the earlier Article required some development in order to make the Note on Curves easily intelligible. Accordingly the order of the notes has been arranged with reference to the notes themselves rather than with reference to the text. The selection and treatment of the subjects of these notes have been subordinated to tho illustration of quaternion methods. I have not hesitated to sacrifice brevity for suggestive-ness, and above all I have tried About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
