PREFACE.
This elementary treatise on Rigid Dynamics has arisen
out of a course of lectures delivered by me, during the past
few to advanced in theyears, classes University.
It is intended as a text-book for those who, having already
mastered the elements of the Calculus and acquired some
familiarity with the methods of Particle Dynamics, wish to
become acquainted with the principles underlying the equations
of motion of a solid body.
Although indebted to the exhaustive works of Routh and
Price for many suggestions and problems, I believe that the
arrangement of the work, method of treatment, and more par-
ticularly the illustrations, are entirely new and original ; and
in appreciatingthat they will not only aid beginners fundamen-
tal truths, but will also point out to them the road along which
they must travel in order to become intimate with those higher
material system which have theircomplex motions of a culmi-
Astronomy.nating point in the region of Physical
My thanks are due Mr. C. Glashan of Ottawa, who has

read the proofsheets and supplied me with a largekindly
