| Sumario: | Robert Willis was a scientist, inventor & architectural historian of international repute. As Jacksonian Professor of Natural & Experimental Philosophy at Cambridge, he demonstrated specially made mechanical devices to huge audiences. First published in 1841, Principles of Mechanism provided the theory behind the demonstrations. He defined mechanism as the means by which any relations of motion could be realised. The book was extremely influential, with all books in English, French, & German on the subject for the next generation adopting Willis' classification and nomenclature. He worked closely with William Whewell, whose Mechanics of Engineering was published in the same year. These two books established the science of mechanism, & provided study materials for the rapidly growing engineering profession. The work became a standard textbook for engineering & mathematics students, with a second edition issued in 1870. |
