Erste Ausgabe dieser bedeutenden Arbeit zur experimentellen Bestätigung des bereits 1905 von Nernst formulierten Wärme-Theorems. - "The immediate consequence of Nernst's new idea was that radically different thermochemical techniques were put into practice to elucidate chemical equilibrium. These involved the determination at very low temperatures... of the specific heats and thermal coefficients of specific heats... In a series of seven papers published between 1910 and 1914 Nernst and his co-workers (F. Koref, F. A. Lindemann, and F. Schwers) presented impressive experimental evidence to support Nernst's theorem based on the electrical measurement of electrically induced temperature changes. The rigorous test of the validity of the theorem was soon seen to be an enormously challenging experimental undertaking... Nernst tackled all these problems imaginatively and successfully, and step by step came increasingly to believe that his hypotheses should be elevated to the rank of a bona fide law of thermodynamics" (DSB). - Wohlerhalten. - DSB 15, 432
