Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Experimental Inquiry Into the Nature, and Propagation, of Heat Publication presented themselves in the spring of 1801. I was transported at the prospect of a new world emerging to view. Without delay I determined to investigate the subject with that close attention which it seemed to demand.

I HAVE dwelt 90 long on these preliminary disquisitions, that I may well seem to have kst sight of the principal object. But I have seized the occasion to set before my readers a variety of physical views, some of which are new, and all of them remote from common apprehension. Notwithstanding their apparent subtlety, however, they will, I trust, be found on reflection to be upon the whole solid and important. They will facilitate on? progress, render our fu ture reasonings more intelligible, and enable me to abridge the thread of investigation. I now return to consider the Nature of Heat. It is almost superfluous to remark, that the term heqt. is of ambiguous import, denoting either a certain sensation, or the external cause which excites it. This last sense only we have to consider. Our feelings furnish a most imperfect notice of the measure of heat: indicating merely the the impression made upon the human organs, they depend on the relative temperature and condition of our body, the quickness or slowness of communication, the particular quality of the contact, and a variety of other circumstances. A substance of the same warmth as the hand, feels agreeable; as it grows continually hotter, the corresponding sensation grows more intense; and at length becomes absolutely painful, and would terminate in the destruction of the nervous fibrils. Suppose the procedure to be reversed, by constantly abstracting the heat, or, in common language, exposing the substance to cool; the impressions of touch will then be throughout of the same kind. The feeling is at first only unpleasant, then grows more and more painful, till the sentient organ at last becomes numb, and is destroyed. The extreme sensations are thus in both easel...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dugald Stewart's Empire of the Mind recasts the cultivation of a democratic intellect in the late Scottish Enlightenment. It comprises an intellectual history of what was at stake in moral education during a transitional period of revolutionary change between 1772 and 1828. Stewart was a childof the Scottish Enlightenment, who inherited the Scottish philosophical tradition of teaching metaphysics as moral philosophy from the tuition of Adam Ferguson and Thomas Reid. But the Scottish Enlightenment intellectual culture of his youth changed in the aftermath of the French Revolution. Stewartsustained the Scottish school of philosophy by transforming how it was taught as professor of moral philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. His elementary system of moral education fostered an empire of the mind in the universal pursuit of happiness. The democratization of Stewart's didacticEnlightenment--the instruction of moral improvement--in a globalizing, interconnected nineteenth-century knowledge economy is examined in this book.
