Extract

This paper contains investigations founded on the supposition, that that part of the elasticity of bodies which depends upon heat, arises from the centrifugal force of the revolutions of the particles of elastic atmospheres surrounding nuclei or atomic centres. The author has laid before this Society and the British Association several papers founded on this supposition, which he has elsewhere termed the hypothesis of molecular vortices.
