 CHAPTER I.Introduction.
  SECTION I.Statement of the Object of the Work.
  ART.
  1. Object of the theoretical researches
  12. First statement of the problem of the terrestrial temperatures.
  13—15. Conditions necessary to applications of the theory. Object of the experiments.
  SECTION II.Preliminary Definitions and General Notions.
  22—24. Permanent temperature, thermometer. The temperature denoted by 0 is that of melting ice. The temperature of water boiling in a given vessel under a given pressure is denoted by 1.
  25. The unit which serves to measure quantities of heat, is the heat required to liquify a certain mass of ice
  26. Specific capacity for heat
  30. Notion of external conducibility.
  31. We may at first regard the quantity of heat lost as proportional to the temperature. This proposition is not sensibly true except for certain limits of temperature.
  32—35. The heat lost into the medium consists of several parts. The effect is compound and variable. Luminous heat
  36. Measure of the external conducibility.
  37. Notion of the conducibility proper. This property also may be observed in liquids
  38, 39. Equilibrium of temperatures. The effect is independent of contact
  50, 51. First notion of the effects of reflected heat
  52—56. Remarks on the statical or dynamical properties of heat. It is the principle of elasticity. The elastic force of aeriform fluids exactly indicates their temperatures.
  SECTION III.Principle of the Communication of Heat.
  SECTION IV.On the Uniform and Linear Movement of Heat.
  66, 67. Notion and measure of the flow of heat
  68, 69. Measure of the conducibility proper.
  70. Remarks on the case in which the direct action of the heat extends to a sensible distance
  71. State of the same solid when the upper plane is exposed to the air
  72. General conditions of the linear movement of heat.
  SECTION V.Law of the Permanent Temperatures in a Prism of Small Thickness.
  73—80. Equation of the linear movement of heat in the prism. Different consequences of this equation
  SECTION VI.On the Heating of Closed Spaces.
