"Regarded as the sixth edition of a Treatise on the mathematical theory of the motion of fluids, published in 1879"--Pref. "First American edition 1945." "List of authors cited": p. [731]-733.

This internationally famous work on the dynamics of liquids and gases enjoys a unique position in technical literature. Most authors refer their readers to it rather than to other works for fundamental theorems, equations, and detailed methods of solution. It has never been superseded as an encyclopedic coverage of all aspects of classical hydrodynamics. The equations of motion -- Integration of the equations in special cases -- Irrotational motion -- Motion of a liquid in two dimensions -- Irrotational motion of a liquid: problems in three dimensions -- On the motion of solids through a liquid: dynamical theory -- Vortex motion -- Tidal waves -- Surface waves -- Waves of expansion -- Viscosity -- Rotating masses of liquid.
