This paper details the design, construction, and theoretical operation of high-temperature furnaces. / "WE are told that Chemistry was formerly denominated the Philosophy of fre, and caloric is still our most powerful agent; it is therefore of some importance to the practical chemist to be informed of the means by which it may be applied in the most powerful manner, and I have endeavoured in this communication to. collect the facts which are scattered through the works of various authors relative to the perfection of furnaces. Little originality can be expected on such a subject, I have however attempted, where any point required elucidation, to supply what was wanting in experiment and theory; and I have given a concise sketch of the gradual improvement of these instruments down to the present day." â" Author. / Thomas Romney Robinson (1792-1882) was an Irish astronomer and physicist who made significant contributions to astronomy, meteorology, electricity, magnetism, turbines, air-pumps, fog signals, and balloons.
