The celebrated NJ. Jourdain spoke prose

knowing that be did so 10 like manner
many Of our working mechanics are in the
the habit OF applying the most exact princi-
pies Of science, in the course of their daily
occupations, withoet ever suspecting it.
Long before the science of geology was in
vented, the practice Of applying geological
principles was common among canal engi.

Of mechanics, hydraulics, and acoustics are
in constant use in our own day, among per-
sons who DO not know the names even of
the sciences whose uses they are familiar
with in daily life.
We propose, In the following series Of
papers, to lay down, in popular though
accurate form, the leading principles of the
sciences most commonly applied to practice
among ourselves, in the hope of establishing
more intimate relations between those that
are well acquainted with the theory or eel
ence, and those tnat earn their daily bread
by the practical applications of that theory
10 practice.
Il has beer well observed, by DIR. Arbuth-
not, that it Is no small impediment to the
advancement Of the arts, that speculative
men and good mathematicians are unac-
quaInted with their particular defects, and
the several circumstances in them that rem
der things practicable or imprGeticabIe !"
but it is certainly no less an impediment 10
the progress Of the arts, that those whose
duty it is to carry them out into their minute
and practical details, are unacquan led with
the fundamental laws and principles Of the
sciences they are daily called upon to apply
to practice.
Our object is to supply this defect of
knowledge TO the best Of our ability, and TO
present to our readers the principles Of the
sciences reduced to their simplest forms
borrowing our illustrations of those princi-
plies from sources familiar to all, and there
fore readily appreciated and understood

for their development on the application Of
our intellect or reason to the facts originally
supplied by the senses.

These senses were mpposed bv the .

These senses were supposed hv the an
| clients to be iive in number-viz: smell,
taste, touch, hearing and seeing to which
list our modern philosophers have wisely
added sixih-viz the muscular sense, or
instructive feeling Of resistance when exter-
nal force is applied. 1t Is unnecessary, for
the development of the respective senses Of
smell and taste, that external bodies should
be directly applied to their several organs in
the body; and that vibratory movements Of
air, or ether, should call forth the peculiar
sensations of hearing and vision I; while
simple changes Of temperature are sufficient
to excite the sensation Of touch in any part
Of the body endowed with nerve 6brrs u
that peculiar sense
In order, however, to call the muscular
sense into play, it is necessary to apply force
to some one of the muscles, with w1icn the
body of man and other animals Is covered
and protected.
The science Of mechanics il the science
that investigates the laws Of force, and ap-
plies them to the daily use Of man. OF
force itself we know nothing, but that II
calls forth the resistence Of our muscles, and
gives US the peculiar sensation Of some un-
known thing outside ourselves opposing our
motion.
Instead, therefore, Of commencing our
study Of mechanics with the abstract and
d difficult study Of force, we shall begin viii
the study Of some Of the welI-estsblished
effects of force, which are called laws, and
leave the investigation Of forces, in them
selves, to the metaphy Sicisns and mathema-
tcians, to whom It more properly belongs.
The hrst and most important force We be-
come conscious of is the attraction Of the
earth we inhabit, by virtue Of which all
bodies possess weight, and tend to approach
the ground, uDless prevented BY some in-
teryenng obstacle, or by the exertion Of au
equal and opposite force. Hence, i. follows
that the simplest idea we can have Of the
effects Of the exertion OF force is derived
from the effort TO raise q body from the
ground and increase its distance from IT,
When We thus raise a body 10 greater
height than il was before. we are said 10 do
COrk; and the amount Of work done i
measured by he product Of the force ex-
ertad, or weight overcome, into the height
through which il is lifted Thus, if tons
be lifted through feet, we say that the
work done is 10 # tons, or tons multiplied
bV . feet; if 1000 IT, be lifted through 46
feet, we say that the work done is 2,00OG46
go 900 #. lbs; and 50 on for other cases.
The oldest and simples. forms of machines

forts Of men or other animals, 10 raise their
