Vol. Ill is entitled ' De Resolutione et Compositione Mathematica', and contains numerous applications to physics, 

 including a thermometer (the author's favourite study) 'ab auctore adinventum', also ' auctoris modus peculiaris ad 

 explorandam aeris gravitatein ', etc., etc. According to Poggendorff, the author was the first to suggest taking the 

 temperature of freezing and boiling water as fixed points on the thermometric scale.

' Rennell devoted an enormous amount of labour and trouble to the study of winds and currents, collecting a great mass 

 of materials from the logs of his nujuerous friends and correspondents ... He was the first to explain the causes of the 

 occasional northerly set to the southward of the Scilly Islands, which has since been known as ' Ilennell's Current.' His 

 current charts and memoirs were invaluable at the time.'— Sir Clements Markham.
