THE following pages form the first portion of a Treatise on Dynamics, and contain the fundamental principles of the science, with their application to the motion of particles, and to the simpler cases of the motion of bodies of finite magnitude. The remainder, which is in course of preparation, will contain the higher investigations, and the application of the principles to physical Astronomy, together with a history of the discovery of the Laws of Motion, and an account of the principal experiments that have been made for the purpose of testing their accuracy, and determining the attraction and mean density of the earth.
