Excerpt from The Experimental Study of Gases: An Account of the Experimental Methods Involved in the Determination of the Properties of Gases, and of the More Important Researches Connected With the Subject
It is probable that in no other section of chemistry or physics do such discrepancies occur as exist among the experi mental values assigned by different investigators to the physical constants relating to gases. The existence of such irregularities renders the treatment of the subject rather difficult; and as in many cases the methods of manipulation, and the manner in which the gases experimented upon were prepared, are only briefly described in the original papers, it is often impossible to arrive at the probable sources of error. In stating results I have in many instances attempted to indicate to what extent they may be relied upon.
