Caloric: Its Mechanical, Chemical And Vital Agencies In The Phenomena Of Nature V2

Caloric: Its Mechanical, Chemical And Vital Agencies In The Phenomena Of Nature V2 is a book written by Samuel L. Metcalfe that explores the concept of caloric, an early scientific theory that attempted to explain the nature of heat and its effects on matter. The book is the second volume in a series and delves into the mechanical, chemical, and vital agencies of caloric in the natural world. It covers a range of topics, including the properties of heat, the behavior of gases, the process of combustion, and the role of caloric in biological processes. The author draws on a range of scientific sources to present a comprehensive overview of the subject, including the work of prominent scientists such as Antoine Lavoisier and Humphry Davy. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both students and researchers in the field of science. Overall, Caloric: Its Mechanical, Chemical And Vital Agencies In The Phenomena Of Nature V2 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the development of early scientific theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
