content: Elroy M. Avery (1844-1935) was a Michigan native, Civil War veteran, and longtime teacher and scientific lecturer. His <I>Elements of Natural Philosophy</I>, first published in 1878, sold well for years. He also wrote textbooks onchemistry and works on American history. By the 1890s, the term "natural philosophy" had been displaced by "physics," and classroom demonstrations gave way to student experimentation. These trends are reflected in this volume, first published in 1895 with a second printing in 1896.
