O knihe

Excerpt from Heat: A Mode of Motion

Not the results alone of scientific inquiry, but the operations of the inquiring mind, are of interest to'the reader here in View. I have therefore tried to show the tendency displayed throughout'history, by the most pro found investigators, to pass from the world of the senses to a world where vision becomes spiritual, where princi ples are elaborated, and from which the explorer emerges with conceptions and conclusions, to be approved or rejected according as they coincide, or refuse to coin cide, with sensible things. By his observations and re¿ec tions in the domain of fact the scientific philosopher is led irresistibly into the domain of theory, his final repose depending on the establishment of absolute harmony between both domains. Thus the motions of the solar system rest securely upon the Principle of Gravitation; light reposes on the Theory of Undulation, while it is the object of this took to show that thermal phenomena find a similar basis in the Mechanical Theory of Heat.
