...Again, in 1812, Davy thus states his theory : — i The immediate cause of the phenomenon of heat, then, is motion, and the laws of its communication are precisely the same as the laws of the communication of motion.Another way of stating the above is that heat is a form of energv.

The immediate cause of the phenomena of heat then is motion, and the laws of its communication are precisely the same, as the laws of the communication of motion.
