Diagram of Temperature. The Thermometer. Comparative Scales. Nature of Heat. Natural and Artificial Temperatures. Heat of Caloric is that principle in nature, by the action of which fluids are evaporated, and solids are either dissipated in vapour, rendered fluid, or vitrified. "Heat," as Dr. Lardner remarks, "is one of the physical agencies upon which the well-being of organised nature in general, and of the human race in particular, is most essentially dependent...Upon this principle the theometric barometer is constructed, which indicates the elevation of any place above the level of the sea, by the difference in the heat required to make water boil at that elevation. Thus water boils at the top of Mont Blanc at 187°. Effects of Heat. Measured by Daniell's Pyrometer. Greatest furnace heat measured by Daniell...For measuring temperatures below the freezing point of mercury a spirit thermometer is used, alcohol not congealing by any reduction of temperature hitherto observed. For measuring high temperatures, above those indicated by the thermometer instruments called Pyrometers are employed, these are various forms , and act upon the principle of the expansion of metals by heat.

Painted by Thos. Philips. Engraved by Jn. Young Engraver in/Mezzotinto to his R.H. the Prince of Wales.
London, Septr. 1799. Published by J. Young, No.58, Upper Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square.
Mezzotint. Platemark: 380 x 275mm (15 x 10¾"). Fine impression. Large margins. Laid on scrap border.
A portrait of British musician, songwriter, dramatist, novelist and actor, Charles Dibdin (1745 - 1814). Seen half-length slightly to left within rectangular frame, eyes to front, wearing a dark, unbuttoned coat over a light waistcoat and cravat. Dibdin was successful in a number of fields and was notably the manager of Sadler's Wells and various other theatres. With regards to his song writing, he is best known for his nautical songs, in spite of the fact that he was only at sea for one brief voyage. Dibdin idealized sailors and wrote of them as noble heroes with faithful sweethearts and wives. His songs were popular not only in England, but in Canada and America before and during the American Revolution and during the War of 1812. He became one of the most celebrated songwriters in Britain.
