We have had considerable difficulty in compiling this treatise from the larger work
- arising from the necessity for condensation to a degree almost incompatible
with the design to omit nothing of importance : and we feel that it would have

But the consideration of evolutes is of some importance in Natural Philosophy ,
especially in certain mechanical and optical questions , and we shall therefore
devote a section or two to this application of Kinematics . Def . If a flexible and ...

From the principles already laid down , a great many interesting results may be
deduced , of which we enunciate a few of the simpler and more important . ( a ) If
the velocity of a moving point be uniform , and if its direction revolve uniformly in

An important improvement in nautical charts has been suggested by Archibald
Smith ? It consists in drawing a curve , which may be called the tidal hodograph
with reference to any point of a chart for which the tidal currents are to be
specified ...

Bi we may also prove this important proposition as follows : Let A be the centre of
the circle , and the hodographic origin . Join OA and draw the perpendiculars PM
to OA and ON to PA . Then OP is the velocity in the orbit : and ON , being ...
