A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

None of the works available to American readers pretend to give a complete, connected account of what is known of the constitution of matter, and the student who wishes to learn the present state of the molecular theory has to seek his information in the occasional articles that are scattered through the scientific journals. Dr. Watson sK inetic Theory of Gases (a new edition of which has been recently published) is far too difficult for the undergraduates in our scientific schools and colleges; Clausius sK inetische Theorie der Gase (1889-91) has not yet been translated, nor has Meyer sK inetische Theorie der Gase, so far as I am aware. Meyer sbook is also out of print at present, although a new edition is in preparation. Lord Kelvin sdelightful lecture on The Size of A toms should be read by all students of physics, and it is now readily available, in the first volume of his Popular Lectures and A ddresses. Crookes sclassical papers on radiant matter should also be read; they are in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, beginning with the year 1874. The present volume is an attempt to elucidate the elements of the molecular theory of matter as it is held to-day. It is based on a lecture delivered on the 12th of last February, before theW ashburn Engineering Society, of theW orcester Polytechnic I nstitute. In preparing the manuscript for the printer a considerable number of alterations have been made, and much new material has been added, though the form of presentation has been preserved.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
