13. (Pg. 12) What of the vegetable and animal creation?

14. (Pg. 12) What of artificial, and accidental forms?

15. (Pg. 12) What is meant by divisibility?

16. (Pg. 12) What examples can you give, to prove that the particles of a body are minute in the extreme?

17. (Pg. 13) What produces the odour of bodies?

18. (Pg. 13) How do odours exemplify the minuteness of the particles of matter?

19. (Pg. 13) Can matter be in any way annihilated?

20. (Pg. 13) What becomes of the fuel, which disappears in our fires?

21. (Pg. 14) How can that part which evaporates, be still said to possess a substantial form?

22. (Pg. 14) What do we mean by inertia?

23. (Pg. 14) Give an example to prove that force is necessary, either to give or to stop motion.

24. (Pg. 14) What general power do the particles of matter exert upon other particles?

25. (Pg. 15) What is that species of attraction called, which keeps bodies in a solid state?

26. (Pg. 15) Does the attraction of cohesion exist in liquids, and how is its existence proved?

27. (Pg. 15) If the particles of air attract each other, why do they not cohere?

28. (Pg. 15) From what then do you infer that they possess attraction?

29. (Pg. 15) How do you account for some bodies being hard and others soft?

30. (Pg. 16) What is meant by the term density?

31. (Pg. 16) Do the most dense bodies always cohere the most strongly?

32. (Pg. 16) How do we know that one body is more dense than another?

33. (Pg. 16) What is there which acts in opposition to cohesive attraction, tending to separate the particles of bodies?

34. (Pg. 17) What would be the consequence if the repulsive power of heat were not exerted?

35. (Pg. 17) If we continue to increase the heat, what effects will it produce on bodies?

36. (Pg. 17) What body has its dimensions most sensibly affected by change of temperature?

37. (Pg. 17) What power restores vapours to the liquid form?

38. (Pg. 17) What examples can you give?

39. (Pg. 17) How are drops of rain and of dew said to be formed?

40. (Pg. 18) What is meant by a capillary tube?
