Excerpt from The Thermal Measurement of Energy: Lectures Delivered at the Philosophical Hall, Leeds The following Lectures were delivered in Leeds, during the Spring of this year, at the request of the Technical Instruction Committee of the West Riding County Council. At the close of the course I received, from those who had attended it, a request that the lectures should be published, this request was subsequently repeated in a letter from the Secretary of the Technical Committee. I therefore now give the lectures (with a few trifling exceptions) in the form in which they were delivered. It did not appear possible in such a course, and if possible I should not have considered it advisable, to enter on any detailed criticism of all the various determinations of the heat equivalent: suffice it to say, the selection of examples was in no sense arbitrary. Some reference to the educational aspects of the subject are, I hope, justified by the fact that the greater portion of my hearers were teachers of science.
