The following translation was undertaken at the instance I, of Dr T. Archer Hirst, F.R.S., the translator of the first collected edition (mentioned in the Author sP reface below) of Professor Clausius papers on theM echanical Theory of Heat. The former work has however been so completely rewritten by Professor Clausius, thatD rH irst stranslation has been found scarcely anywhere available; and I must therefore accept the full responsibility of the present publication. I trust it may be found to supply a want which I have reason to believe has been felt, namely, that of a systematic and connected treatise on Thermodynamics, for use in Universities and Colleges, and among advanced students generally. With the view of rendering it more complete for this purpose, I have added, with the consent of Professor Clausius, three short appendices on points which he had left unnoticed, but which still seemed of interest, at any rate toE nglish readers.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
