Excerpt from Contributions to Molecular Physics in the Domain of Radiant Heat: A Series of Memoirs Published in the 'Philosophical Transactions' and 'Philosophical Magazine'; With Additions
IN the Preface to the Third Edition of my work on Heat, written in January 1868, the hope was expressed that before the end of that year the original Memoirs which. I had contributed to the Philosophical Transactions,' and other journals, during the previous eighteen years, would be pre sented to the scientific public. Hitherto this hope has been only partially fulfilled by the publication of the researches on Diamagnetism and Magne-crystallic Action.
The present volume contains the Memoirs on Radiant Heat, considered as an explorer Of Molecular Condition. I have read them over carefully, and have tried to augment their clearness without altering their substance.
In front of each memoir is placed an analysis of its contents, from which the reader can at once learn the nature of the inquiry. I have also added here and there some necessary historic data.
