DSB, XIII, 614/5: 'Since much of the work being done in England and Germany in this era is centered on the development of the mechanical theory of heat, Verdet soon became the French expert in this subject. In 1864/5 he taught the new thermodynamics at the Sorbonne, and the notes from his course were compiled by 2 students and published as 'La theorie mecanique de la chaleur', a textbook which has become a classic.': This exposé on the theory of heat published 6 years prior to the 1868 classic 'La théorie'.
