First printing of a pioneer work in the investigation of the manner in which different gases and liquids conduct heat, and the high absorptive and radiative power of aqueous vapor. The two textillustrations shows his experimental equipment.Prior to Tyndall it was widely surmised that the Earth's atmosphere has a Greenhouse Effect, but he was first to prove it. The proof was that water vapor strongly absorbed infrared radiation.""In 1859, Tyndall began the importent series on ""Radiant Heat..."", for which he received the Rumford Medal in 1869 and produced his classic work, Heat considered as a Mode of Motion (1863).
