Abstract
In a paper presented to the Society in 1867–8 I deduced from certain hypothetical considerations regarding Dissipation of Energy results connected with the thermal and electric conductivity of bodies, the electric convection of heat, &c. As these were all of a confessedly somewhat speculative character, I printed at the time only that connected with thermal conductivity, which I had the means of comparing with experiment, and which seemed to accord fairly with Forbes' experimental results. But the assumption on which this was based was essentially involved in all the other portions of the paper.
