Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Hydrostatics: For the Use of Junior University Students
The characteristic distinction of solids and fluids as to the transmission of pressure evidently arises from the mutual rela tions of their constituent atoms, so that solid bodies only trans mit pressure in the direction of its action; but fluids transmit pressure equally in all directions from the absence of stable rela tions between contiguous atoms.
Fluids are subdivided into non-elastic fluids or liquids; and elastic fluids or gases and vapours.
Definitions. The mass of a portion of fluid is the quantity of matter which it contains as measured by its inertia, and is pro portional to its weight at the same place. The weight of a body, as in dynamics, is the pressure produced by it under the action of the force of gravity.

Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Hydrostatics: For the Use of Junior University Students
The present-Treatise on Elementary Hydrostatics is written to supply a text-book for the Author's Junior Mathematical Class of Natural Philosophy, and to include the various propositions which can be solved without the Differential Calculus.
Within the prescribed limits it has been his wish to make it as comprehensive as possible without entering into the bounds of practical hydraulics, more than is considered appropriate to a theoretical treatise.
The Author has endeavoured to meet the wants of Students who may look to hydraulic engineering as their profession, as well as those who learn the subject in a course of scientific education.
He hopes that in preparing a text-book for his own teaching, he has also produced a treatise which may be useful to others similarly engaged in tuition.
