Excerpt from Elements of Hydrostatics: With Their Application to the Solution of Problems, Designed for the Use of Students in the University The term Hyctrostatics, in its proper acceptation, signifies that division of the science which treats of the equilibrium of non-elastic uids; and Hyidro dynamics' that which relates to their' forcesand motion: in this respect the terms correspond with those of Statics and Dynamics as applied to solid bodies. 'but it is not unusual to include the whole doctrine under the general term 'hydrodynamics, and to denote the divisions relative to their equilil brium and motion by the terms Hydrostatics and Hydraulics. That part of the science which treats of the mechanical properties of air and the different elastic fiuidis, is called Pneumatics. These divisions are here comprehended under the general name Hydrostatics; and it is adopted partly because it is the name in common use, and partly. Because the scientific distinctions are not closely observed in the arrangement, which has been regulated by considera tions of convenience, and what experience has taught to be the easiest mode of instruction.
