DescriptionThe object of Ramsay and Perman's research is the determination of the behaviour of ether in the state of gas approaching towards the state of liquid, when heat is communicated to it, so as to alter its condition adiabatically.

Annotations in pencil. Includes one diagram of experimental apparatus.
