The Supposed Effect of boiling upon Water, in disposing it to freeze more rapidly, ascertained by Experiments, by Joseph Black
This paper, The Supposed Effect of boiling upon Water, in disposing it to freeze more rapidly, ascertained by Experiments, By Joseph Black, M. D. Professor of Chemistry at Edinburgh, in a Letter to Sir John Pribgle, Bart. P. R. S. describes experiments and results of the time it took for water to freeze when it had been pre-boiled as compared to water that was not pre-boiled.
The item, which measures approximately 6 ¼ x 8 ½ inches is a First Edition, extracted and disbound from The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, Vol. 65, For the Year 1775, pages 124-128. This volume of the transactions was published in London in 1776. Its pages are tanned, but the text is clear and easily read. The overall condition of the paper, considering its age and being extracted from its original covers, is good.
The illustration accompanying this description shows the first page of the item.
Joseph Black (16 April 1728 – 6 December 1799) was a French-Scottish physician and chemist, known for his discoveries of latent heat, specific heat, and carbon dioxide. He was professor of Medicine at University of Glasgow (where he also served as lecturer in Chemistry).
Sir John Pringle, 1st Baronet, FRS (10 April 1707 – 18 January 1782) was a Scottish physician who has been called the "father of military medicine" (although Ambroise Pare and Jonathon Letterman have also been awarded this sobriquet). [Wikipedia]
