To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And we pass from the conception of action and re-action to that of energy doing work, when we introduce the notion of definite changes of configuration in a system of bodies being effected in definite time -durations, and consider that system as the seat of resistances, or forces resisting a change, which a force acting on it externally is operating to produce. " Work done by an external agent on a material system may be described as a change in the configuration of the system taking place unde...r the action of an external force tending to produce that change. " (Matter and Motion, as above. Art. LXXV. ) Briefly, then, we may describe Energy (without for the present taking account of the distinction between potential and kinetic), as the continued efficiency of an operation, in which vis insila, vis inertia?, and vis impressa are all combined ; or again as the continuous efficiency of vires impresses in interaction, estimated by the effects or changes produced in the configuration of the whole material 176 THE POSITIVE SCIENCES.
