Memoir of James Prescott Joule (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Memoir of James Prescott Joule

The three laws, the law of conservation of momentum, discovered by Newton, the law of conservation of the chemical elements, discovered by Dalton, and the law of the conservation of energy, discovered by Joule, constitute a complete mechanical foundation for physical science. The discoverer of a law is he who first generalizes whether he has or has not taken part in the discovery of the facts on which the generalization is made.
