Theses concerning Forces,"
he explained the idea "that force is imperishable and immortal, and there- fore when and where forces seem to vanish in performing certain me chanical, chemical or other work, the force then merely undergoes a transformation and reappears in a
form, but of the original amount as an active force." Joule's paper of '43 was followed by
new
others in 145 and 147, at Cambridge
and Oxford respectively, and finally by his memoir."On the Mechanical
Equivalent of Heat" comtiunicated
to the Royal Society by Faraday, June 21, 1849. This was really the final action; the winning battle. It was, in this paper Joule gave si account of his most refined investi gations and for his previous values of the mechanical equivalent, viz., 838, 770, 798, 890 and 781-gave the value 772 ft.lb. which was the recognised constant for half a century and differs little from. that used to-day. Among other noteworthy contributors to the main question, were Grove, who, in 1845, published his volume of lectures on the "Correlation of Physical Forces"; and Helmholtz, who, the following year, read to the Physical Society of Berlin his memoir." Die Erhaltung der Kraft." This was the essay which Magnus four year later put in to the hands of Tyndall, remarking it was "the production of the first head in Europe since the time of Jacobi"-Engineering.
