Caloric: Its Mechanical, Chemical And Vital Agencies In The Phenomena Of Nature V2 is a comprehensive book written by Samuel L. Metcalfe. The book discusses the concept of caloric, which was a term used in the 18th and 19th centuries to describe a hypothetical fluid that was believed to be responsible for heat and temperature changes. In this book, Metcalfe explores the mechanical, chemical, and vital agencies of caloric in the phenomena of nature. He discusses the various properties of caloric and how it interacts with different substances. The book also covers the history of caloric theory and its impact on scientific thought.The second volume of the book delves deeper into the subject matter, providing a more detailed analysis of the properties and behavior of caloric. It also includes discussions on the relationship between caloric and electricity, as well as the role of caloric in the formation of clouds and rain.Overall, Caloric: Its Mechanical, Chemical And Vital Agencies In The Phenomena Of Nature V2 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the development of scientific theories. It provides a comprehensive overview of the concept of caloric and its significance in the study of natural phenomena.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""A New Theory of Terrestrial Magnetism"" is a book written by Samuel L. Metcalfe that presents a fresh perspective on the nature of the Earth's magnetic field. The book delves into the various theories and observations regarding terrestrial magnetism and proposes a new theory that challenges the existing beliefs. Metcalfe argues that the Earth's magnetic field is not solely generated by the motion of molten iron in its core, but rather by a combination of factors including the Earth's rotation, its shape, and its composition. The author provides a detailed analysis of the evidence supporting his theory and explains how it can be used to better understand the Earth's magnetic field and its effects on our planet. This book is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers interested in the field of geophysics and the study of the Earth's magnetic field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
