In this 1804 publication, Scottish mathematician and natural philosopher Sir John Leslie (1766–1832) investigates the nature of heat radiation using a set of carefully devised experiments. Although Leslie established several basic laws of heat radiation, and also made innovations in instrumentation, the work caused controversy among Scottish clergymen.
