Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Heat
IT was with considerable hesitation that I sanctioned the Publishers' proposal to print a very large number Of copies Of the first edition Of this work. Some of my reasons will be found in the former Preface, reprinted below especially those depending on the fact that the work was written, in occasional intervals Of comparative leisure, during several very busy years.
