Treatise on Heat (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Treatise on Heat

But why repair to the observatory of the astro nomer, or to the laboratory of the chemist, for ex amples of a principle which is in never-ceasing operation around us 1 Sleeping or waking, at home or abroad, by night or by day, at rest or in motion, in the country or in the town, traversing the burn ing limits of the tropics or exploring the rigours of the pole, we are ever under its influence. We are at once its slaves and its masters.
