Sobre este artículo
Norman 1894; Sparrow, Milestones of Science Books 174; Roller-G. II, 398. - FIRST (OCTAVO) EDITION of a collection of 4 essays dealing with the hair hygrometer invented by Saussure, general principles of hygrometry and evaporation, and related meteorological experiments. Content: I. Description d'un nouvel hygometre comparable. II. Theorie de l'hygrometrie. III. Theorie de l'evaporation. IV. Application des theories precedentes a quelques phenomenes de la meteorologie.
"Saussure, the Alpine explorer, founded hygrometry, the branch of physics that deals with the measurement of the humidity of air and gases. He invented the hair hygrometer - the only type of absorption hygrometer widely used in meteorology - and he was the first to prove that air expands and decreases in specific weight as its moisture content increases. This work describes Saussure's pioneering experiments with his new instrument as well as its application to meteorology." (Norman). In 1783 this work appeared simultaneously in octavo and quarto format, but by tradition the quarto format edition has been considered first. - Visit our website for additional images and information.
