DescriptionSectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions, in full with no modifications. All the illustrations are necessary. The paper exhibits the author's characteristic ingenuity and extreme care in all the minutest details. The results of the delicate measurements are extremely concordant and fully prove the truth of Boyle's law at low temperatures.
