Abstract
THIS dry little book gives an account of the works of Fusinieri which related chiefly to endosmose, capillarity, adhesion, and other molecular actions; also to static electricity and to magnetism. He published a work in 1844 on “Molecular Mechanics, and a Repulsive Force in the Ethereal Medium,”which we have never seen, but which would surely be of interest now in connection with Mr. Crookes's experiments on repulsion by heat in a vacuum; in 1846, a memoir on Light, Heat, Electricity, Magnetism, and Electro-magnetism; in the following year a memoir on. Meteorology; and altogether many small occasional memoirs. The second part of Prof. dal Pozzo's works is a critical inquiry into the work entitled “The Unity of the Physical Forces,” published in 1864 in Rome by Father Secchi; and the third part contains some biographical notices of Fusinieri. The book is unillus-trated, and has no felicities of style to recommend it; the students of the Free University of Perugia must be devoted scientists if they purchase the book and manage to read from beginning to end of it.
