La 4e de couverture indique : "Henry Cavendish, scientifique avide de connaissance, est l'incarnation de l'esprit des Lumières propre au XVIIIe siècle, époque où l'étude de la matière trouva les réponses à ses questions dans les applications pratiques des premiers processus industriels. Ce riche lord anglais est connu pour ses contributions à la chimie, notamment la découverte de la composition de l'eau et l'analyse de l'air, et ses expériences pionnières sur l'électricité. Ses travaux sur la densité de la Terre méritent une reconnaissance particulière, car ils permirent de calculer l'une des constantes fondamentales de la nature : la constante gravitationnelle, la force avec laquelle deux corps s'attirent."

McCormmach (history of science, U. of Oregon) offers an edition of 18th-century natural philosopher Cavendish's manuscript, in foul and corrected versions, on the mechanical theory of heat. He also explores physical theory in natural philosophy during the second half of the 18th century, of which the treatise is an example. Annotation 2004 Book New
