"Professor 's treatise contains all that is necessary to be known in order to make experiments on heat. The student may be also referred to [Augustin Privat-]Deschanel's ' Natural Philosophy,' Part II., translated by Professor [J. D.] Everett, who has added a chapter on Thermodynamics; to Professor Rankine's work on the Steam Engine, in which he will find the first systematic treatise on thermodynamics; to Professor Tait's 'Thermodynamics,' which contains an historical sketch of the subject, as well as the mathematical investigations; and to Professor Tyndall's work on 'Heat as a Mode of Motion,' in which the doctrines of the science are forcibly impressed on the mind by well-chosen illustrative experiments."
