Extract

At the commencement of this paper the two following propositions are laid down:

I. That water at the freezing-point may be converted into ice by a process solely mechanical, and yet without the final expenditure of any mechanical work.

II. That the freezing-point of water must become lower as the pressure to which the water is subjected is increased.
