A Short Account Of Experiments And Instruments, Depending On The Relations Of Air To Heat And Moisture by John Leslie. This work, originally published in 1813, surveys the ways air interacts with heat and moisture and presents a series of practical and theoretical investigations. Leslie explains heat as a dynamic, diffusible fluid whose behavior varies with substance and state, and he develops instruments to measure temperature, humidity, and related phenomena. The text introduces devices such as the differential thermometer, pyroscope, photometer, hygrometer, hygroscope, and atmometer, and details their construction and use for studying heat transfer, evaporation, condensation, and the effects of rarefaction on moisture in air. Extensive experiments explore how solids, liquids, and gases conduct heat, how moisture is absorbed or released, and how evaporation cools surfaces. The volume also delves into meteorological topics—dew, rain, clouds, fogs—and the formation of ice and frost under controlled conditions. It closes with a reflection on the potential applications of refrigeration and humidity measurement in science and industry.
