Abstract
LOW temperatures are rapidly becoming of great industrial and scientific importance, so that the general principles of their application are necessary or useful to continually increasing numbers of people. In this book Prof. Ewing has brought the Howard lectures, which he gave to the Society of Arts in 1897, up to date in various directions by the addition of sections on the more important developments in the last ten years. In these attention is paid to sudli questions as the production of oxygen by the rectification of liquid air and the theoretical investigations which lead to the calculation of the efficiency of refrigerating engines.
