2. CHAPTER I.The Registrar-General, for example, will tell us that the death-rate in London varies with the temperature in such a manner that a very low temperature is invariably accompanied...
3. CHAPTER II.34. In the last chapter it was shown what is meant by energy, and how it depends upon the velocity of a moving body; and now let us state that this same energy or power of doing...
4. CHAPTER III.64. In the last chapter we introduced our readers to two varieties of energy, one of them visible, and the other invisible or molecular; and it will now be our duty to search th...
5. CHAPTER IV.121. Let us begin our list of transmutations with the energy of visible motion. This is changed into _energy of position_ when a stone is projected upwards above the earth, or,...
6. CHAPTER V.182. In the last chapter we have endeavoured to exhibit the various transmutations of energy, and, while doing so, to bring forward evidence in favour of the theory of conservat...
7. CHAPTER VI.211. We have hitherto confined ourselves almost entirely to a discussion of the laws of energy, as these affect inanimate matter, and have taken little or no account of the posi...
