348 pages on a course of lectures in natural philosophy delivered in the session 1807-1808 by Patrick Copland, Professor of Natural Philosophy. An intoduction to the subject given followed by chapters including ratios, porosity, motion, specific attraction, law fist, second and third (of nature), practical mechanics with sub headings numbered one to six on homodromous, the axis of wheels, the pulley, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw. Final chapter is on remarks of the mechanical powers.]]>
