Mr. Mallet's Theory of Volcanic Energy

Abstract

WILL you allow me to make a few remarks upon Mr. David Forbes's critique, which has but just now met my eye, though published in NATURE of February 6 last, upon my translation of Prof. Palmieri's “Incendio Vesuviano,” and more especially upon that gentleman's animadversions upon my views as to “the true nature and origin of volcanic heat and energy,” a brief and incomplete account of which I have given in the “introductory sketch” prefaced by me to that translation.
