gradum caloris Imbcnt ad tactuni ; scd vidcntur habere 

 potcntialcm taiituni quondam ealorem, sive dispositio- 

 nem ot pnvparationom ad calidum. Postea demum de- 

 soendomus ad ca, qua* sunt actu sivo ad tactuni calida, 

 coruiuquo fortitudincs ot gradus. 



1. Tu oorporibus solidis et tangibilibus non invciiitur 

 aliquid, (jiiod in natura sun calidum sit originali- 

 tor sl . Xou onini la]&amp;gt;is ali([iiis, non mctalluni, non 

 sulphur, non fossilo aliquod, non lignum, non aqua, 

 non cadaver animalis, invcniuntur calida. Aqurc 

 antom calida in balneis vidcntur caloh ori per acci- 

 dons, sivo por tlammam aut ignem subterraneum, 

 qualis ex /Etna ot niontiluis aliis compluribtis cvo- 

 mitur s - ; sivo ex conllictu corporuin, quemadmodum 

 calor fit in f crri et stanni dissolutionibus. Itaquc 

 gradus caloris in inanimatis, &amp;lt;|uatenus ad tactuni 

 liumanum, nullus est ; vonintamon ilia gradu fri- 

 goris dillerunt; non enim ;vque frigid urn cst lig 

 num, ac motallum. Scd hoc ])crtinet ad Tabulam 

 graduum in frigido. 



2. Attamen quoad potcntialcs caloros ct pnrparationes 

 ad tlammam, coiuplura inveniuntur inanimata ad- 

 modnm (lisj)osita, nt sulphur, naphtha, petroleum. 



3. Qua&amp;gt; antea inoaluerunt, ut fimus equinus ex ani- 

 inali, aut calx, aut fortasse cinis, aut fuligo ex igne, 

 reliquias latentes quasdam caloris prioris retinent &5 . 



PI Tliis Instance is totally wrong. &amp;lt;- All that is known upon the 



All bodies are endued with Heat subject of the origin of Volcanic 



more or less ; all aggregations of (ire is to be found in Dr. Daubeny s 



particles have some degree of Heat Treatise on Volcanos. Cf. supr. II. 



in them; and the reason why Metal 12. Inst. 10. 



is colder to the touch than Wood is K1 &quot; Reliquiae Latentes&quot; must not 



not that it has more inherent cold be mistaken for &quot; Latent Heat,&quot; 



in it, but simply because of the which was not discovered till Dr. 



greater density of its particles, which Black s experiments. ( Herschel s 



carry off a far greater quantity of Discourse on Nat. Phil. 360,361.)
