This textbook was reprinted 10 time. The last time in 1909. It was translated from French by F. F. Pavlenkov together with V. D. Cherkasov. After its first publication in 1866 he gave his money to continue the started work. The choice was successful. The book matched the 'spirit of the time' with its increased interest towards the natural sciences. The textbook remained the best manual for self-study of physics throughout the second half of the XIX century.
