Excerpt from The Compressibilities of the Elements and Their Periodic RelationsIt is interesting to note that this paragraph clearly gives to Davy the pri ority concerning this matter; but undoubtedly the later writers (including the present author) developed the hypothesis independently of Davy and of one another.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from New Method for Determining CompressibilityOther trials, with a wider tube and with the bulb in the lower envel ope, diminished the error due to the adhesion of bromine. Thus the percentage change of volume for pressures of 50, 100, and 150 kilo grams per square centimeter respectively were found to be and per cent. For bromine, and and per cent. For mercury respectively. These data lead to the following values of the compressibility of bromine - from 0 to 50 atmospheres, from 50 to 100 atmospheres, and from 100 to 150 atmospheres, The temperature was 17° C. As will be seen later, these values are not far from the true ones; and they are consistent enough to show a steady decrease of compressibility with increasing pressure, which seems to be the universal rule.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
