Referee's report by George Gabriel Stokes, on a paper 'An account of experiments on the change of the elastic force of a constant volume of atmospheric air, between 32° F. and 212° F., and also on the temperature of the melting-point of mercury' by Balfour Stewart
Reference number: RR/5/260
Date: 20 July 1863
Description
Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Refers to John Tyndall, who returned the paper unexamined. Suggests reducing the size of the plate. If the author adopts the suggestions of William Hallowes Miller [RR/5/258] for further clarifying experiments, these results should be appended to the paper.
