Delaroche and Bérard and experimental error
In 1813, two young physicists, François Delaroche and Jacques-Étienne Bérard, published a series of highly influential measurements of the specific heats of a number of common gases. Their results, obtained in answer to a prize competition set by the Institut de France, were accepted as the most accurate then available and they continued to exert a powerful, if diminishing, influence on studies of heat for the next forty years. Among the results …

A Critical Examination of Herapath's Dynamical Theory of Gases
In recent years John Herapath has emerged as an important figure in the early history of the dynamical theory of gases. In a series of papers published in 1821 and 1822 he outlined an elaborate theory of the states of matter, specific and latent heats, vapours and gases, culminating in a theory of the gravitational ether. This work was based on the rejection of the caloric theory of heat and was founded instead on the idea that the particles of m…
