Extract

The paper contains some curious applications of the principle of dissipation to the conduction of heat, the connection of heat and electricity, thermo-electric currents, the electric convection of heat, &c. But in this abstract we confine ourselves to one very simple case of the conduction of heat, as the hypothesis on which it is investigated is fundamentally assumed in all the other applications.
