Advanced Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics

Requiring for my research on thermo-electricity a great many metals, which were for he most part chemically pure, I thought it would be interesting to determine at the same time their electric conducting power. The method used for those determinations was the same as that described in the Philosophical Magazine (February 1857), and the experiments were made in the Heidelberg Physical Laboratory under the direction of Professor Kirchhoff. The values given in the following series are the results obtained with different wires of the same metal compared with silver, 100 at 0°.
