The beauty and clearness of the dynamical theory, which asserts heat and light to be modes of motion, is at present obscured by two clouds. The first came into existence with the undulatory theory of light, and was dealt with by Fresnel and dr. Young. The second is the Maxwell-Boltzmann doctrine regarding the partition of energy.
