Notes: "Published anonymously by Nourse ... The anonymous author ... appears to have compiled it with a copy or notes of Black's lectures before him ... The preface described the theory of latent heat as 'the invention of the ingenious Dr. Black'; and the order of the sections of Part I, which dealt with heat, was identical with that followed by Black in his course of lectures ... This volume ... although anonymous, gave Black credit for his discoveries on latent heat ..." -- McKie, The discovery of specific and latent heats, London, 1935, p.50-51.

Gift in memory of Abbott Lawrence Rotch and Margaret Randolph Rotch, July 1942.
