Abstract
I FIND that the mode of regarding J advocated in my letter in last week's NATURE (p. 320) is not quite new, for my brother, Dr. Oliver Lodge, writes to tell me that Clerk-Maxwell, on p. 298 of his “Theory of Heat,” has called J the specific heat of water. However, he has not done so throughout the book, and I do not think it is the meaning generally attached to the symbol, though it seems to me that it should be so; that is to say, J should always be considered as denoting the specific heat of water at the temperature 0° C.
