Synopsis
The Complete Works Of Count Rumford by Benjamin Graf Von Rumford provides a comprehensive collection of Rumford's late 18th-century experimental investigations into heat, motion, and the properties of matter. This volume assembles papers such as AN ACCOUNT OF SOME EXPERIMENTS UPON GUNPOWDER, EXPERIMENTS UPON GUNPOWDER, THE FORCE OF FIRED GUNPOWDER, EXPERIMENTS WITH CANNON, PRODUCTION OF AIR FROM WATER EXPOSED TO LIGHT, and THE PROPAGATION OF HEAT IN VARIOUS SUBSTANCES, among others, together with supplementary inquiries into moisture absorption and the mechanical principles of life. It presents meticulous apparatus descriptions, measurements, pendulum methods, and tables detailing bullet velocities, recoil, charge heights, and heat exchange. Rumford challenges prevailing opinions about heat, defends rigorous experimental methods, and explores the nature of caloric and heat conduction in torricellian vacuums and liquids. The Preface notes the Academy’s plan to publish four volumes, with Dr. Ellis’s life of Rumford to follow. The work marks a cornerstone in the birth of experimental philosophy and the empirical study of heat and motion.
