To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The elegant rounded finish to that master- piece of creation, man, where sensations and action have their termini — the brain — ^is carefully and powerfully protected by the beautiful, light, graceful arch which forms the skull of the human form. In concluding the subject of Mechanics, we may observe that the whole rests on very simple laws. A mass of matter when in motion may be compared to another mass, either with respect to the size and weight of each other or the swiftness with which they ...move. The greater the mass, the greater will be the force required either to ^ve it motion or restore it to rest; while the swifter its motion, the greater will be its force. The momentum is calcu- lated by multiplying its weight by its velocity of motion. When bodies act in contrary directions, as when weights are acted upon by a lever^, wheel and axle, pulley, &c., the ascent multiplied by its weight, and the descent multiplied by its weight, if equal, balance each other ; because, as both actions take place during the same period of time, their velocities are as to the space passed through, and the preponderance of weight in one body is equal to the greater velocity of the other; and thus ^xtra velocity and space balance the lesser velocity and space, but greater weight.
