Collected Works of Count Rumford, Volume IV, Light and Armament
Count Rumford
Edited by Sanborn C. Brown
Between 1870 and 1875 the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston published Rumford's "complete" Works, financing the projecct with part of the increase of a fund that Rumford himself had given to the Academy in 1796. This edition presented, in order of their first appearance, all the papers that the Academy committee was able to find. The Academy edition has long been out of print and practically unavailable.
In this edition Mr. Brown has rearragned the papers according to subject matter. Rumford's papers dealing with light and with armament are contained in this fourth volume. They include "Intensity of Light"; Coloured Shadows"; "Harmony of Colors"; "Chemical Properties of Light"; "Management of Light"; "Source of Light in Combustion"; "Air from Water Exposed to Light"; "Description of a New Lamp"; "Experiments upon Gunpowder"; "Force of Fired Gunpowder"; and "Experiements with Cannon."
