Physics, Dynamics, Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, Electricity, Magnetism, Optics, Dynamics, Electricity, Hydrostatics, Magnetism, Mechanics, Optics, Physics, Pneumatics, and Lecture notes

A manuscript of science course notes, probably following the natural philosophy course of Robert Eden Scott of King's College Aberdeen (1769-1811), and offering insight into the teaching of physics at the height of the Industrial Revolution. The compiler was one William Watt, who was a student at the college 1806-1810, and who neatly adds his name to one of his careful illustrations, at end. It appears that William Watt may have used diagrams present in the 1805 edition of James Ferguson's "Lectures on select subjects in mechanic", and also from Olinthus Gregory's "Treatise of Mechanics" (1806) as a guide in preparing those included in this manuscript.

This notebook, dating from April to June in 1782 and believed to have been created by a student named Thomas Crafts, contains notes taken during Hollis Professor Samuel Williams' "experimental lectures" (lectures on natural philosophy, or early science). It contains notes on twenty lectures, covering the topics of "properties of a body" (extension, solidity, divisibility, mobility, figurability, and inertia); the powers of attraction, gravity and repulsion; the "Congress of bodies, and their effects"; the use of the pendulum; centripetal and centrifugal forces; the lever and the pulley; the wheel, screw and wedge; hydrostatics; hydraulics; pneumatics; fire; magnetism; electricity; optics; dioptrics; and astronomy. These notes indicate that Williams' lectures involved hands-on experiments, providing the students first-hand and immediate knowledge of some of the concepts they were studying.
