Publisher's Synopsis
This treatise was originally designed to explain the part of Statics required in the Previous Examination and the Second Examination for Ordinary Degrees at the University of Cambridge.

It may also be regarded as an introduction to the work on Elementary Dynamics which, under the title of Kinematics and Kinetics by Mr. E. J. Gross.Examples have been selected from Papers set in University Examinations. The propositions requiring knowledge of Trigonometry are marked with Roman numerals. --J. HAMBLIN SMITH.
