But Sir William Thompson has enunciated the principle : " It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects.'' 3 This principle is not correct, as stated, except as it implies the existence of certain conditions...

...have taken this notice, assumed instead of the above rather dubious axiom the more convincing one: ' It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects' In fact, we see by § 26 that, if we make N transfer back to the source a quantity of heat equal to...

Thomson gives it a slightly different form : — It is impossible, by means of inanimate...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects. By comparing together these statements, the student will be able to make himself master of the fact...

...reversible engine. The second law of Thermodynamics quoted above, as given by Sir W. Thomson, states that " it is impossible by means of inanimate material agency to derive mechanical work from any portion of matter by cooling it below the temperature of the coldest of surrounding objects."...

The following is the axiom he gives :— " It is impossible by means of inanimate material agency...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects." 1 SeeTait, Phil. Mag., 1872, I. 338, 516; II. 240. But he appends the following guarded note : —...

Thomson selber formulirte im Jahre 1851 sein Princip folgendermassen (1. c. pg. 265) : It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency,...temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects; wobei aber zu bemerken ist, dass Thomson ausdrücklich voranschickt (1. c. pg. 263), er wolle unter...
