Abstract
NE soyons pas exigeants: la perfection est si rare! This is one of the rules laid down by Sadi Carnot for his own guidance:—and we will endeavour, as far as possible, to give his present Editor and Translator the benefit of it. They need it sadly.
Reflexions on the Motive Power of Heat, &c. From the original French of N.-L.-S. Carnot.
Edited by g R. H. Thurston, Director of Sibley College, Cornell University; “Officier de l' Instruction Publique de France ”; etc., etc., etc. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1890.)
