water. A. P. 1708. 274. H. 1. 

 Amontons on the effects of heat on air. A. P. 



1703. 101. H, 6. 



Amontons assumes, that his thermometer is the natural 

 measure of absolute heat : Lambert and Dalton afterwards 

 advanced nearly the same opinion. 



Amontons on the appaient fall of the ther- 

 mometer. A. P. 170o. 75. H. 4. 



Hauksbee on the weight of water in different 

 ' circumstances. Ph. tr. 1708. XXVI. 93.

Brook Taylor on the expansion of fluids in 

 the thermometer. Ph. tr. 1723. XXXII.

He found the expansion proportionate to the increments 

 of heat by mixture.

 Reaumur on thermometers. A. P. 1730. 452. 



1'731. 250. H. 6. 



Reaumur's degrees are thousandths of the bulk of his 

 diluted alcohol.

 Delitle sur Tastronomie et la geographic 



physique. 4. Petersb. 1738. 



Delisle's degrees are ten thousandths of the bulk of the 

 mercury, neglecting the expansion of glass. Fahrenheit's 

 are nearly ten thousandths, without this inaccutacy.

 introduced them. A metalline thermometer for multiply- 

 ing the expansion by means of bars.
